C'mon then - lots and lots of you bought the eBook and a ton of Button Tools should have (hopefully) thudded on your doormats this weekend, so let's see what you've been making .... don't be shy now! ;D
I was granted a little play time yesterday....it didn't go too well ::) However, before I gave up I had a go at making a couple of shank buttons the "Lush" way :)

A simple fritty set from me. Hopefully I will get more time to play next week. Love the tool Julie. I'd used the same method before using my doming block but always felt they were too domed. This is bigger than I expected but now I've tried it I like the size.
Finally got to play and started by making a couple the Lush way

Then spent rather a long time and made a totally commercially nonviable button of my own :-[
