A project I've been working on, inspired by the lovely and creative Princess Lasertron princesslasertron.com/
Military brass button for 49th Princess Charlotte of Wales Herts Regiment. By Jennens and Co.

Hand Pumper built in 1848 by the L. Button Company of Waterford, NY and delivered by way of the Erie Canal in December of 1848 to Fort Wayne. First operated by the Germania Fire Company. Pulled on site by a dozen or more men and operated in shifts of several minutes in up and down strokes of 60+ per minute. A fascinating piece of actual local history that has been preserved for over 164 years.
These are cobbled together using the vintage ladies gloves pattern and other ideas I came up with. The wool was recycled and is definitely wool and just a little on this side of itchy. But they do look good.

I'm playing around with different materials to use with my buttons. Glass is my new favorite!
