Button Ware
Gathered together, in the pages of Button Ware, are some of the trendiest and best-looking projects available to today's crafty, fashion-conscious designers. Amy Barickman, owner of Indygo Junction and The Vintage Workshop, and self-confessed button addict, couldn't resist combining her vintage button collection with the colorful and fashionable buttons offered by world importer JHB International the leader in original and stylish buttons. In this 80 page colorful collection, filled with 90 gorgeous photos and 33 inspiring projects (with numerous variations), they combined the strengths of their companies to create this colorful collection filled with inspiring projects from leading designers. It will teach beginners simple techniques for turning both new and vintage buttons into fashion statements, some so simple that you won't believe you made it. For those who are more experienced crafters, these ideas will inspire them to new heights of creativity. With easy-to-follow illustrations and detailed photography, crafters will learn how to expand their accessories at a fraction of the cost of original designer pieces and enjoy creating jewelry, embellishments, and fashionable, wearable designs at the same time.

I am IN LOVE with this book! Pretty photos of clever projects (and can I say that I've never seen many of these button ideas before and stay fashionable?) all made from beautiful buttons. The only thing that I'm not enamoured with is the entire "Fashion Apparel" chapter, but I'm not a big fan of sewing a bunch of buttons on shirts or sweaters. (Probably because I grew up during the 1970's and saw one too many button covered jean jackets. Eeesh.) I am immediately adding several of these projects to my "Must make" list including the button bouquet pins and the elastic button bracelets.

Cool things to do with buttons, but nothing that is out of the ordinary. Nice, clear pictures though.
