Kauni Buttons Finished and Sewn On
Got up early this morning, determined to at least start the color blending for the polymer clay buttons, and before I knew it, it was finished. The green in the button darkened during baking but I still like it a lot, and think that they are just about perfect for the Kauni sweater. Simple buffing with a towel gave the buttons a slight sheen.
Details for the buttons for those who are curious! Formed a square log of purple polymer clay and wrapped it in a green layer, then wrapped it in purple. I chilled the sqaure log and cut it up into slices, then rounded the corners a slight bit. I made a template for the button holes, so there would be some attempt at making them similar, but didn't really try to make each button identical to the others. (Good thing too, since I'm not sure I could even do that.) After baking, I buffed them as I mentioned above, briefly.
The Kauni is finished, and she is fine.
