The Last of the First Four



My first batch of four Czech art glass buttons from Crazycakes are all now incorporated into jewelry designs. I just can't get over how beautiful they have all turned out. Hopefully, that doesn't sound too boastful. But these buttons are just so lovely, they inspired me to create pieces that enhance that loveliness. I think the last one I made, the bronze herringbone bracelet, is my favorite of the four. Although, the white one is very sweet. I just got eight more of the buttons in the mail today and can't wait to start designing with them. In fact, I think I'll go shop in my stash right now to see what I can come up with!

Button, Button, Who's Got the Button









A little over a month ago, one of my fellow beadweavers from Etsy, Dayna of
daynamiles , shared with the group her wonderful creations using Czech art glass buttons. I was so taken in by the exquisite designs, I just had to have some of those gorgeous buttons for myself. I wound up purchasing four of the little beauties from crazycakes. So far I have finished a pendant necklace and listed it on Etsy and have a bracelet in progress. These are so much fun to design around, I'm sure when all four are made up, I'll be back for more!!
