We are Steve and Lea, The Woodlife Way.
We hand-make natural wooden buttons, and "Tree Charm" necklaces. We choose, cut, shape, sand, wax and drill each button, or charm by hand. Being a natural product no two buttons although similar, will be identical – they are unique.
We then present our buttons on a handmade backing with a whittled stick and string to hang. As well as looking very decorative, we find that it is very useful to be able to hang the buttons in your craft space where you will be able to find them when needed. The backing could be re-used, maybe to hang earrings or even more buttons? And then it’s down to you to finish the story, whether they become a fastening on a handmade cardigan, a new embellishment for a favourite cushion, bag, quilt or curtain.
They would also make a lovely gift to anyone who enjoys crafting and natural materials.
Each Tree species according to Folklore, Celtic and Pagan beliefs has its own essence and identity.
Whatever their destiny we always love to see pictures of where they end up……..
We have spent the last year renovating a long-term empty house into a comfortable home. We are lucky enough to have views of the (often snow capped) mountains, the sea, seals and very occasionally dolphins and eagles from the windows.
We now have a guest bedroom with private adjoining bathroom and offer holiday accommodation, bed and continental breakfast in our working crafting home.
