I just wanted to share some of the newest photography-related button magnets I have listed in my Etsy shop. These are 2 1/4 inch ones:
I just posted this 1 inch button I made from a recycled magazine picture from the 1940's. At the time I made it I was watching American Idol as it was counting down to the final...hence the name!
I've got lots more of these vintage buttons yet to list, but I'm trying to spread them out. I usually list these as pin-back buttons, but I can always glue a magnet to the back of it if the buyer prefers that. I don't want to do that to start with, though, since these are one of a kind. I'd hate to have one fixed up with a magnet and find out somebody really liked it but wanted a pin, instead...kinda hard to "un-glue" that magnet, don'tcha know?! But when it comes to my cats, which are my original photographs, or photography-related stuff (which I have a LOT of), I can always make more that are similar, so I've been making some up as magnets and thumb tacks, too.
Oh! I almost forgot...I made a sale today! But I'll tell you about that next time....
I've been busier on my etsy site than I have been here. I've added new sets of notecards using photos of my cats. In the next few days I'll list notecards using my color photos from the backroads of Texas, some of which are included in my photos here.
But the new toy I'm having a lot of fun with now is my new button-making machine. It makes 1 inch pin back buttons or I can put a magnet on the back instead of a pin. Suddenly I keep seeing all kinds of things that would make good buttons or magnets for your refrigerator or office file cabinet, etc!
I'm a bit of a computer nerd, so I have lots of old computer magazines lying around and I've made some buttons with those:
And I've used my original photos of the cats and of flowers for some:
My daughters have a lot of pin-back buttons that they put on their purses and jackets with all kinds of designs and slogans and that gave me the idea for these...for when you have nothing in particular to say, except, "Hey, look, I've got a button!":
Tonight I posted the perfect button magnets for the popcorn-lover's refrigerator:
