vintage button jewelry

just posting a few pics of some of my jewelry i made to sell at a local craft fair. i didn't do so well-a lot of people looked but didn't buy. these are all made with vintage buttons.



the necklaces have vintage buttons, glass beads, and old watch faces.

my next thought is to list them on the internet. i have to learn how to do that though-i signed up for "artfire" which is like etsy but not as expensive. i may do both for a while and see how it goes. i'm also going to put some of the chenille brooches from my last post there. maybe next week-we'll see.

pink saturday

good morning! the weather here has been beautiful and pinkness is blooming everywhere, even in my studio room!! the brooches below were made with an vintage chenille blanket that i cut and dyed various colors. i clipped loops and sewed them onto a small piece of wool with wool leaves. each one is a little different. so springtime and fun!!


a few more pieces of jewelry made with vintage buttons and jewelry parts.

hope y'all all have a wonderful pink week. going visit my pink hostess beverly now and the pink party girls!!
