Buttons....


I recently filled a custom order for handmade fused dichroic glass buttons. I was so happy with the way they turned out that I am now making them left and right. The uses for them are endless! They add such interest and excitement to knits, crochet, clothing, accessories, etc. They are truly a focal piece that draws attention.

I truly enjoy my custom orders because I get to work closely with my customer to realize their vision. It often causes me to step outside my usual zone of comfort and the end results can be very exciting!

Fused Glass Cabochons & Tunisian Crochet




I have an incredibly talented (and sweet) customer who has uses my fused glass links in her Tunisian crocheted ponchos. In fact, her ponchos (with my glass) are currently being featured in the March/April issue of Belle Armoire magazine!! Visit www.goshyarnit.com to learn more about Jennifer's amazing Tunisian crochet.

Tunisian crochet is an old artform that offers both experienced and beginning knitters and crocheters new creativity. Tunisian crochet, also known as afghan crochet, incorporates elements of both knitting and crochet, yet is easier to achieve (and easier on the hands) thanks to the extra-large crochet hook used.
