Chunky Funky Button Bracelet

I am going to share a few terrible photos of a new style button bracelet. It is a "sample" of the jewelry my sister would like for her bridesmaids. She wanted chunky and vintage and of course I have an overload of buttons. :) First she wanted teal shades but has switched to "Horizon Blue" (Check out Davids Bridal to see that color). I am not terribly fond of the blue as I wore it in a wedding last October, but I will oblige. I kind of prefer this teal combo she originally chose.Please note I have very FEW buttons in that color and it is a rare shade to find. If you own any or see any I would forever be grateful if you would gift, sell, tell me where they are, or whatever to me.

So here are the gorgeous....cough cough hack photos of the bracelet. Maybe I should have taken the time to go downstairs and use my light booth. :)

Packages Galore

Today was not highly productive as I spent a huge chunk of the day creating a skateboard bag for my friend. She and her husband are traveling back to Houston for Mother's day and her husbands long board was too large for most bags so I took a few seams out of his Northface backpack and added a few removable straps to hold the board. I have to gloat, I was very impressed with myself that you cant tell it didn't come that way.

On related jewelry issues my recycled packaging and new displays both showed up today. :) I got 4 HUGE boxes! The UPS man left one at the back door, the FedEx man brought 3 to the front door and the same time the regular USPS mail man came with some checks. I love getting mail, well as long as its not bills.

Thought I would share a couple pictures. Two of a Coral, Natural Pearl, and Sterling necklace. One of the new displays and one of some wedding jewelry I just boxed up in the new "tiny" earring boxes (Usually I just use black ribbon but I bought a spool to match the wedding colors).Now I just need to put it all away :( What a mess!

Bridesmaid Jewels

Well my pearls and swarovski crystals came in the mail so I could whip up a few more colors of bridesmaid jewelry. The pale yellow on the right was commissioned by a friend of Colin and I for her wedding in May. They are to coordinate with plum colored dresses. For a more personal touch I have added small initial letters, there is an "E" shown. I think I may make a black version just to wear out myself.

The Peridot Green and Rose colors were made as examples but are for sale. I have made drop earrings for each with briolettes hanging at the ends. I am currently working on a lilac colored version as well but think I may change up the pattern for a little variety.
