Buttons By Robin Link Love

I've just figured out how to get my short url for my Buttons By Robin face book page. It is http://www.facebook.com/buttonsbyrobin. I've started a link love discussion on my discussion page. If you'd like me to fan your page please leave your info there and we can all share links. Please only link to my page if you like my items though. No pity links please :)

As always you can see my work on www.buttonsbyrobin.com.

Turquoise Owl Buttons

My turquoise owl buttons have found a new home and are packaged up and will be on their way to Australia later today. I just love the idea that my buttons and jewelry/jewellery items have found places all over the world. I just wish I had started marking on a map all the countries where they have been sent. I think that would have been fun. I don't have any more of these owls listed in my Buttons By Robin shop at the moment but I hope to get some more made this weekend. In the mean time there are lots to look at including owl buttons of different designs http://www.buttonsbyrobin.com/

White Rabbit from Alice In Wonderland Fused Glass Pendant

I know that my site is primarily for handmade buttons but I couldn't help designing a few Alice in Wonderland pendants in fused glass and listing them here. I particularly love the white rabbit in Alice in Wonderland and have incorporated him in this design http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=44533015. This is made with a laser toner fused glass decal. When you use the right type of laser printer you can print the image in black and it fuses to a really dark reddish brown. The image becomes part of the glass and you can add anything you want. Too bad it only works in black but I'm working on doing some screen printed designs that will work on glass as well. That way I'll be able to add colour/color. Anyway hope you enjoy Alice in Wonderland as much as I do. As always you can find more of my buttons and jewelry at http://www.buttonsbyrobin.com/.

Fireman or Firefighter Buttons

These buttons would be great for the little fireman/firegirl (I do have an image of a female firefighter for anyone that would like that.) I love the bright red colours/colors against the white. Also I think it's great to encourage children in their dreams to be whatever they want to be when they grow up. Firefighters are truly modern day heroes and these buttons help celebrate that. They can be found in my etsy shop at http://www.buttonsbyrobin.com/ or http://www.etsy.com/shop/buttonsbyrobin the specific listing for the buttons is here http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=44084032

My Owl Buttons in an Etsy Treasury

My Owl buttons are featured in this Etsy treasury http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list.php?room_id=124891. I love all of the colours of these items. Thanks so much to mycyberfiber http://www.etsy.com/shop/mycyberfiber who included my buttons in this treasury. Please check out her Etsy shop if you love fiber. She has a wonderful selection of items including hand dyed yarns. They look delicious!

New Buttons By Robin Zibbet Shop

This is just a really quick note to let you know that I've opened up another Buttons By Robin shop on Zibbet. I only have one item listed at this moment but will be adding more as time permits. You can find it here http://www.zibbet.com/buttonsbyrobin. My main shop is www.buttonsbyrobin.com which is my Etsy shop. The vast majority of my items are there. I also have a few listings still on Artfire at www.handpaintedbuttons.com but I have sadly neglected that the last while. I am considering opening up my own website but we'll see how that goes. For now I just wanted to let you know about the Zibbet shop.

Artist or Studio Fused Glass Button-Bird Silhouette on Orange and White

I'm so excited to be adding some handmade artist or studio buttons to my www.buttonsbyrobin.com . This is one of my latest creations http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=44265729. Of course I'll still be adding my usual handmade resin buttons that seem to be so popular. I just wanted to expand a bit and add something a bit more unique and special for when you really want to add an extra special touch to something. I'm also adding a bit of my artisan jewelry/jewellery as well. My latest jewelry/jewellery additions are some fused glass Alice in Wonderland pendant. There are also a few fused glass Alice in Wonderland buttons. I've got more to add and will be doing so slowly over the rest of the week as time permits. The day job does get in the way and sometimes you just have to spend time with the hubby. Hopefully I'll be able to get some serious glass fusing done on the weekend. So many ideas, so little time.................
