Button Chandelier Earrings

These are the first thing I made with the vintage buttons Tish sent me (thank you again, Tish!!!)! Also... first thing I made with my new wire jig! I had this image in my head the moment I opened the box. It was an amazing feeling to actually bring it to life. My fingertips kinda hurt from bending the wire but it was worth it.

I don't think I make enough blue jewelry. Or yellow... or button jewelry :P

EDIT- I forgot to mention that the blue beads are all glass... I like the dark blue ones because they look like stones.

A Wonderful Surprise!

Yesterday started off as another crappy, depressing day in the world of unemployment. When I went home to change (and lie down before my head exploded) for a get together for my boyfriend, I was greeted by a package in front of my door.

Inside this package?

BUTTONS!!!

Tish knew how much I am into buttons right now and sent over some vintage buttons from her collection! FIVE full bags of them!!! The black one there is one of my favorites. :)

Thank you so much, Tish! You are so awesome!
