Home cast Pewter buttons.
Over the past few months I have been working on casting some pewter buttons to dress up my jackets a bit...
I finally got thes Thistle ones done and sewn the first three on my green Argyle jacket. Lead free pewter with a light antique patina and brushed finish. Mold made with high temp silicone from a tie pin ( bigger) and cuff link set from St. Kilda Kilts. Art Deco line thistle... These are a one off for me.... too much work to even consider making any to sell!

I also made some Breton Hermine pewter buttons as well.

Nicely done. Is this your own design or did you start with an existing mold?

I started with a cufflink and tie pin set I purchased from St Kilda Kilts... made the mold with high temp silicone... starting from those pieces... added sprues... a lot of "learning" new processes... then a whole bunch of hand work!
