if you really cared? ...charming!!!

well if you did suddenly care enough, I wouldn't mind getting a picture as I got a message today from the lady who commissioned it, she's not well so won't be able to collect it until next week, so it'd give me time to draw them in. From what I've heard, the buttons have Jimmy embossed on them as well, but it's hard to know exactly what they'd look like without a ref.
