More buttons

Ok, I have a slight obsession with buttons...alright, it's far from slight. I absolutely LOVE buttons. I pretty much love anything with buttons on it. I bought a big bag of brightly colored buttons (which is where most of the buttons for the jewelry I've made has come from), and it has served me well. Of course, I made my most favorite button bracelet from this bag.

I've been looking for other ways to use my buttons, and they find their ways onto my cards and various other crafts I work on. Recently though, I made a new bracelet and pair of earrings for my mother. I love the way this turned out. Don't worry, I've already ruined the surprise for her.

What do you think?

New earrings

I made these fantastic earrings for my best friend for her birthday in September. I made the earrings a good two weeks before her birthday and yet, I didn't get them in the mail until three (or four) weeks AFTER her birthday. Going to the post office was just a little inconvenient. Then add in the fact that I was packing for the move to Virginia...it was a crazy time.

Anyway, I love them both. I think I will need to make some more for myself.


These ones are made with one continuous piece of silver. I REALLY like the way these turned out.



These were an experiment. My mom has some fabulous earrings that are a spiral like these, only they are much cooler. I tried to replicate them and this was the final product. I like 'em.
