Those are just beautiful! I’m now eyeing my shells thinking they would make beautiful buttons too… what sort of bit do you use for the drilling? And as long as I’m asking questions, I never do get my hummer feeder up early enough. Is it about May 1 to put out the feeders for them? (I could really just go look that up couldn’t I? I think I will, ta!)
I see that the appropriate questions have been asked. Let me just say, inquiring minds want to know the technique details.
You New Englanders have always been creative with all the rocks that were bestowed to you! VBG!
They are terrific and I’m with Julie….details, please! I have a flexible shaft tool for jewelry…think I can get a bit for that, or would I have to use one of hubby’s tools. (Drill press?) I’ve wanted to do something like this with sea glass, too, but I was thinking more along the jewelry lines.
Love these!
Good reason to dig out the Dremel. I’m thinking stone buttons would look good on my handspun Cotswold sweater. Not that I’ve even cast it on, yet, but it’s never too early to organize buttons, right?

Nice buttons! Hey, we have rocks here, maybe I could make some. What kind of drill? Polishing?

A very good way to spend ten minutes!

They are lovely – I’ve often thought about doing that with my flexshaft, but was too chicken. Did you use a drill press, or was it hand held?
yes need details … so beautiful
Love these!
