LOVE this! I've been wanting some funky buttons for various projects but was afraid to wash poly-clay. I'm thrilled to know that I can! And I'll definitely bake for additional curing time -- thanks for that tip, too! I'm also thiknking about making shanks from heavy gauge wire, maybe embedding a small spiral of wire into the clay (same principle as rebar in concrete) with a loop for the shank left sticking out of the back of the button. Anyone tried that yet?

My vote goes to the Fun Spring Dress! I like the halter top (though the bow is too fussy for me personally -- it makes wide shoulders look wider, and I'd dare not eat spaghetti while wearing it!), and I adore the fabric for the midriff and skirt. I also like the lines of the skirt (great for full hips!), and the midriff creates a flattering hourglass. Lovely for an afternoon concert or gallery opening.

I love anything by Jennifer Worick! This looks like another great book, and I'd be thrilled to own it.
