These handmade clay shawl buttons are individually decorated which makes each a unique item. Even though the makers carefully fire each piece in the same manner, variation occurs and gives unique qualities to each piece.
These unique versions of the LickinFlames Shawl Pin Family were designed for use with fibers that might not be able support the larger versions (both Large Shawl Pins and Small Shawl Pins), alpaca and lace weight yarns for examples. While these items are called Shawl Pins/Buttons, they can be used as an ornament for a sweater or a hat adornment and some have used it in their hair.
