Button "Pearls" & | A Block A Day Challenge Day 140

I'm technically not a Pearls kinda girl but white vintage glass buttons..
.well that's different. So I created this necklace to symbolize a new season.

Subtle green rectangular spiral for this busy light yellow and blue /green batik

Students Button Necklaces

What a delight to be in the presence of other creative women who were creating a Button Necklace for a  special little girl in their life - image the thrill of receiving a hand made Button Necklace!!

Below, Sarah created her necklace using some bold color buttons,

 while Cheryl's necklace utilized some pastel baubles.

Libby's necklace included some fun, flower buttons

and Betsy's creation used some cute

butterfly and heart buttons.

Later, Libby showed us this wonderful button necklace created entirely from antique shank buttons.

Talk about inspiration! Anyone interested in a Button Necklace Workshop

with your group on in your home??



FAA Workshop and BAGS

 At the recent Fiber Arts Alliance, I did a brief workshop on creating this button necklace which repurposes many buttons and is a great accent piece. 

With 62 memebers present, our space was bulging.  The "theme" was BAGS and there was quite a variety  from Robin's knitted and felted huge red bag

to this embellished placemat

to this usage of "extra  bug blocks".

 I had forgotten the BAGS theme since I was doing the workshop but was using this purse.

Fun With Buttons

These big, colorful fun buttons would be great incorporated into a button necklace.
A class and a workshop are upcoming. Let me know if you want more details.
