April Component of the Month and Giveaway - All Buttoned Up

Yes it's that time again...a little early admittedly but I wanted to be sure everything got shipped early so people had plenty of time to play.

I love buttons and I think they make really great clasps like this lovely pewter one (Mamacita Badworks) which I used on a bracelet...

Or this one from my own bronze collection...

So for the April challenge I'm putting up these ceramic buttons for the team to design with. 

Although each one will come with a hook, using it as a clasp is not compulsory - buttons are very versatile and I'd love to see any other ideas people might have for them.

In addition to the AJE team I will be making three of these buttons available to AJE readers who would like to join us in the challenge.
