A few more items online

I have been working the last few days to get more of my stock online. I hate to say it but I always get distracted making new items. I need to make a rule that for every 5 items posted I can make something new or nothing is ever going to get uploaded. Because I can't seem to follow my own rules I made a new set consisting of a button bracelet and earrings. They both use many of the buttons I have been pondering what to do with. These buttons are from all over the U.S. and haven't worked in any of my current designs. Yeah! for Upcycling discarded vintage buttons! :)

Things are pretty low key here this weekend as Colin plans on relaxing and I hope to get some more things posted and made.

Bumblebee Choker

I have been super busy getting ready for the the next jewelry show. My button hunting trip yesterday was a flop. The place wasn't open AGAIN (4th time), and most of the other antique/flea market stores don't have buttons because this other store supposedly is just a button store. Due to that I will have a even smaller selection of button bracelets available. :(

Happy news is that I have created a few choker pieces. I personally have a tendency to be allergic to metals and I have more issues in the summer, therefore I am making a few pieces that have small amounts of silver and alternative methods for securing.



This set is Aragonite, Sterling, black jade, and black Czech glass mixed with black gross grain ribbon. I have a Coral piece that is similar also in the works. Sorry the picture is of lower quality, my light box is sitting on the floor since I used the table it sits on for my garage sale.
Hope everyone is having a good week, I have lots of new items in the works with another supply order on the way. :)
