BIG buttons......


I love buttons !!
old vintage,new ones,unusual ones and BIG ones.
The button in the pic is huge,when i saw them i had to have them even though i had no idea what i was going to do with them.
I made a necklace pretty much the same as the pic but in cream for myself and everybody seemed to like it ( i loved it ),although my sons girlfriend said i looked like an art teacher in it ( not a bad thing when you think about it, art teachers have a certain unique style )
This one I've adapted slightly and added more cords ..it's designed to be a choker style ,not everybodies cup of tea i know but suits the button and makes it a statement necklace.
I'll put it out at my next event and see what people think,sometimes the more unusual the design the more people love it ( sometimes they don't,lol)and if people don't like and it sits gathering dust then i have another button necklace all for me !!

now to find something to do with all the lovely mother of pearl buttons i have ...hmmmmm

Oh I do Love Buttons...

I really do, buttons feature in lots of different types of craft from card making , to soft furnishings and jewellery
I have hundreds of them, some inherited from my gran who lived in an age where you didn't throw anything away that could be used again, some i have bought and some people have given me when they know how much i like them


This is my latest piece with buttons
I've called it "cute as "
It has a lovely movement to it and look fabulous on.
I may go button buying when my local market is here next .....you can never have enough !!
