Singing Sweetly
I have played around with some buttons in my designs before, mostly handmade ceramic buttons from Marsha Neal and Nancy of Round Rabbit.
I picked out the prettiest colors, and the smallest buttons and as I was lining them up on the table, my head started spinning.
I also became inspired by my friend Tara. Tara makes jewelry too and just started selling on Etsy. You can see her pieces here. Tara likes to use a lot of antique buttons, and found
objects and old keys.
I started wire wrapping the pearls and when I got the point where I wanted the buttons to start I took a bit of break...not knowing how I would attach the buttons.
I would consider taking a custom order or two so if you want a similar piece, just let me know!

ReplyDeleteI've got a good colection going too. That clasp is such a great idea...
Lorelei, you are THE MOST creative one! Can I have a little of your mojo, I need a sparklette of your brilliance my dear!
ReplyDeleteWhat's the word? A.MAZE.ZING!!
You get the best idea of the week award!
OMG! This is incredible! This is very unique. I can't say I've ever seen anything like it. And I've seen lots of jewelry designs. Any button designs I've seen are done with some kind of cord or thread. No one's ever used wire! And that clasp is amazing. SUBMIT IT! submit it now! Great job, Lorelei!
