5 out of 5 starsI love the organic shapes of these natural buttons and Randi even lets you know what body of water they're from if applicable! They're even prettier in person, with colors deep and misty and worlds apart from man-made imitations. Her sincere customer service shows how much she values her buyers and we're very lucky to have Randi offering these treasures for our projects. Buy with absolute confidence!

5 out of 5 starsIf you're looking for buttons to take your project to the next level, you want these nature made, Randi perfected pieces of art instead of ordinary buttons. These buttons are the most wonderful, perfect thickness and ethereal color, and are even more stunning in person than in their picture. They more than met my expectations, exceeded their description, and are exquisite!

We found a really neat tiny bottle on this trip!
Sea glass is yesterday’s trash turned to treasure, the ultimate in reduce/reuse/recycle!
I have been an artist my whole life. I started producing fiber art in the 1980s as part of the Celtic and Viking re-enactment events that I participated in. More recently beach combing, sea and white water kayaking, and art have taken up most of my time.
I left my conventional job in veterinary management to work as a full-time artist in 2014. I started this etsy shop in 2015. I became a rep from SKUK NDK Kayaks and Celtic Paddles in 2016. I also began working with Reed Chillcheater at the same time.
The artists who have joined me to produce pieces for my shop share a common bond in the love of nature, the outdoors, and occasionally tree hugging.
Fair winds and following seas for thee, my friends,
