buttons & beads
So, I made my first button pendant with my favorite orange button as the centerpiece. I couldn't wear it alone, could I? No, I had to make a pair of earrings to match. I love it! It isn't too springy, but I could totally see this with a brown linen sun dress. I'm warning you now, button pendants and earrings are addictive...
it looks great, beki! i can't wait to see what other ones you whip up.

I think that would be perfect. You'll have to post a photo of you in that brown linen dress and your new button jewels, headed out for a night on the town with your hubby.

Those will go perfect with a brown linen sundress. Beautiful!

Both are supercute! Isn't it amazing someone took the time to take all those buttons off of a garment? I wonder how many awesome buttons are in the landfill....hmmmm

Very clever, my dear. There's no stopping you now!

Beki, I LOVE what you're doing with the button pendants. They have a bit of a mod look to them, which I admire. And the earrings are a beautiful compliment to this pendant - not too matchy, but a great color pairing. Nice.

You made some!! It looks great, Beki! (Did you end up getting small bails? These don't look large with the big button.)
Posted by: lera | March 18, 2008 at 05:10 PM

Posted by: Regina | March 18, 2008 at 11:39 PM
They're beautiful! The simple ivory-colored button makes a perfect background to set off the texture and color of your orange button.
Posted by: Cami | March 19, 2008 at 12:47 AM
I'm glad you got around to making the pendants but I have to warn you...they ARE addictive!! I now have a whole bowl full that I wear!
Posted by: Karyn | March 19, 2008 at 05:58 AM
I want to buy that gorgeous pendant. You can't keep it all to yourself! Now I'll have to spend my life looking for a button like that! For shame..................
Posted by: Bag Lady | March 19, 2008 at 07:43 AM
