Handmade metal buttons are now available at tomorrow’s fibre arts fair in Errington / Coombs as well as a local shop.
By popular demand, Tamaki’s handmade metal buttons are now available in oceanside. Handmade of brass, copper, and aluminum, each is a unique work of art in various patterns, textures, sizes, and shapes. The perfect finishing touch to your handmade textile or fiber art piece; knitters, weavers, designers, and jewellery makers have been asking when and where they can get these beautiful creations.
