I am making the ouches/buttons to look similar to the gold and black ones in the picture. I will say I think they are enamel work so mine will "look" like those. I decided to round up what I had and they really look close. I just have to make 40 of them!!!!! I already have the 20 on the sleeves. I counted them all and got 45 on the neckline and hood, then added 20 for the belt/girdle top=about 65. I'm making more in case some get lost or broken. I'll store those in my stash of beads. I may not want to make them down the road. I make a few, then do something else... then make some more...bake them, shape them, carve on the details, paint them then seal them. Lots of work but that's the only way for it to look accurate like my daughter wants. Since it's all hand sewn, I might enter the whole thing in some contest at the next faire we go to. Anything in Texas, Arkansas or Louisiana area where I could do that?
