This kit contains scissors, a scissor fob, ID tag/tool holder, 2 needlepoint magnets, a zipperpull, tape measure and a large button/Uno card. The decorative elements of these tools were all designed and handcrafted by Karen Hennessey of Zecca, in North Egremont, MA.

Since 1995, Ms. Hennessey, a graduate of the Philadelphia College of Art, has been selling her limited-edition polymer clay buttons, jewelry and decorative items to boutiques and knitting shops. Her work can be found at the American Craft Museum in Manhattan, as well as in 150 stores from Maine to California, including six places in Pennsylvania.

Recently, buttons marketed under her new trade name Zecca (Italian for a place to mint coins) were pictured in Vogue Patterns magazine. Her buttons also have appeared in the Maine designer Jill Eaton's best-selling books of knitting patterns for children's clothing. Soon, Ms. Hennessey will be sending out her first mail-order catalogue of 25 to 30 reproducible designs.
