I found this while cruising through the Cool Hunter web site because I was in the mood for something sort of "out there," and where else are going to find cool stuff? Okay, yes, there are other cool sites, but I know I can always find something really different there, jewelry or otherwise, such as these pins or buttons or button pins from Prickie.com.

According to Cool Hunter, designers can actually make up their own using their own designs, or of course, customers can buy what they find in their gallery:

Prickie is a unique button badge design company that is bringing the age old button pin badge back into fashion. More than just an online store, Prickie serves as an online gallery which promotes artists designs on their unique badges.

With online opportunities for artists to share their work becoming increasingly popular, Prickie is perfect for both novice or established designers to share, promote and distribute their work through a simple and appealing product.

This is a great idea! It sort of the I'll scratch your back and you scratch mine philosophy.
