One day I was wondering through Potobello Market in London. I came across this stand that sold these beautiful buttons. The women running the stand collects collects british military buttons from WWII. She finds military jackets at sales and takes off the buttons and sells them. She also has Greek ones, and glass ones. I bought some Greek ones also the military buttons. We got ones with the Royal Coat of Arms and one with a Greek emporer. When I got them I wonderd what I should do with them. So I decided to make rings.
