10 QTY // Flat Back Buttons / Cabochons Made with Authentic Early 1900s Vintage French Paper

Description

→ DESCRIPTION: Gorgeous flatback buttons to use as cabs (cabochons) in your jewelry, mixed media and various other projects! These cabs are made using paper from a French book published in 1919. The papers used are NOT reproductions - I study each page, covering different sections with a stencil until I find an area I think will look good, then I carefully cut out circles from the original, delicate pages, cover them with a protective layer of mylar for strength, durability and pizzazz and press them with a professional button press. Then, and only then, can I proclaim a gleeful "Ta-da!"
→ SIZE: 1 inch (2.5cm) diameter
→ QUANTITY: 10
→ MORE AVAILABLE? Yes! Convo for custom listing.
→ ADDITIONAL INFO: This listing is for the buttons only, though the round brass settings are available in my shop. These would also look great on the ring blanks and hair pins in my shop. (I also have some awesome surgical steel stud earrings with a 10mm glue pad that are on their way to my shop as soon as the photos are ready.) These buttons are all unique and also limited in supply - once I'm out of book, I'm out of buttons! The buttons pictured are examples only - you will not necessarily receive the ones pictured but they will all be similar in style and will all come from the same book. Age spots, smudges and handwritten notations from long ago are bound to pop up from time to time but are neither guaranteed to be in your set or to not be in your set. If you want buttons without one or all of the aforementioned attributes of vintage paper (or really, really want them), let me know and I'll do my very best to pick out some super neat ones just for you.
→ COLOR: The paper is aged to a nice, dark creamy patina which I captured to the best of my ability in the photos. Please be aware that different computer monitors can show colors differently so slight variations between what you see on the screen and what you receive can occur. There can also be slight variations in the coloring on different pages and different areas of a book this old so please keep this in mind as well.

Please feel free to convo with any questions!

There's just one of me and with the number of orders I process in a week and my schedule I don't always notice right away if they don't and I can't ship your order until I know where it needs to go. Paying at the time of purchase and verifying your address prevents delays in shipment and keeps you from missing out on items that are limited in supply and relisted due to non-payment!
