Jewelry with a Past: January 2012

Wednesday, January 4, 2012. At one time buttons were fashioned individually by hand by skilled artisans. Buttons were very costly and were a sign of high fashion. In the Victorian period, the cost of production was lessened by the adoption of mechanical processes. Instead of being ornamented by hand, they were stamped out in dies with the desired pattern. Metal button producers began to produce buttons using brass, jet, ivory, iron, tortoiseshell, pearl, bone, horn and glass. And see the finished product!

Fine Art & Crafters. Ten Years of Art at Crocker Park in Cleveland. On Jun - 10 - 2015. Photography by C.W. Banfield. Thank you for making last weekend’s Art in the Village Festival such a huge success! If you’re looking for an extra dose of artistic inspiration, Cleveland has plenty of it to spare. The Cleveland Museum of Art. Is a must-see major attraction for the entire family. Ditto to the famous Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And the American Sign Museum in Cincinnati. Between Cleveland and Akron.
