Lauren, who resides in Brantford, Ontario, Canada, also makes beautiful button pins from Japanese washi paper and Chiyogami (Yuzen). Her brief description of this type of paper says that the paper designers would pattern the paper after wealthy and fashionable ladie's kimonos. Most of her descriptions of her buttons include stories and explanations of the subject matter. These in themselves are very entertaining. The one pictured below features cranes, which are a popular Japanese subject symbolizing long life. Her buttons would be perfect to dress up a purse, hat, sweater, or coat.
This talented young lady also knits and crochets various items. (How much talent can one person have? - Lots apparently) Her pouches for handheld game systems seem to be a big seller. She also has a few very colorful scarves, a poncho, and this panta headband which I've noticed has gotten rave reviews in her feedback, such as thislittlebird's comment "wonderfully warm and well made. Thanks... I think I'm addicted to panta's now... This Little Bird thanks you ^_^"
