From inspiration to production - bead/button closures
I have been having a hard time finding exactly the right bead/button closures for my ereader covers. This morning when I woke up early, the good ol' muse voice in my head said, "Make you own." I had everything I needed - old leftover polymer clay from my art teacher days that was still good, complete with roller, some gold leaf from collages, and assorted other stuff including some long-ago clay-building ideas remembered from my studies with potter Tracy Dotson. I am very excited with the results! Take a look at the first batch, all done between 6 and noon today! From now on, all of my handmade collage covers will sport handmade closures.
