posted by the scholar on July 27th, 2007filed under: art, clay, mixed media, personal accessories
what a spanking button!

the buttons are fired once, glazed, then fired a second time. some have tiny glass detail.
laura has hundreds of fun and quirky designs. her studio is located in sheffield, england.

I thought these buttons are made up of bone. Anyways, they are nice. What’s the price by the way? Are they very dear?

Thank you for this post I have been aware of it for a number of years, I hadn’t anticipated becoming so well known in my field, I took personal details about myself and my family down from the internet in 2008 & would prefer it if bloggers didn’t mention details about my family, as you might imagine I am very protective of them.
My buttons are made out of ceramic and they are some of the most expensive on the market but that’s because they are worth it 😉 they sell all over the world including the Victoria & Albert museum and Loop in London, I have a hard time keeping up with demand so prices reflect this, I still sell on my etsy shop, I love my etsy shop =)
