So Much New!

There's more to come, but check out the rings and brooches I added to my Etsy shop this week! They make great Valentine's gifts *nudge nudge*. If you've been following me for a little while you'll know I absolutely LOVE buttons. I started to make jewelry with buttons for myself and have been making for Etsy too because I  have fun picking out different buttons for different pieces and putting it all together in one cute as pie piece.

 

Button Necklace

I was so inspired by the 5 mason jars of buttons I now have that I made a new necklace last night. I took these small pearlescent buttons that were already clasped in pairs and used jump rings to make a little cluster of them. I really love how it turned out! 

Clear The Air

Here's a sample of the necklaces I'll be dropping off at Lenny & Me very soon. I need to package them and then finish some brooches, then it's all ready to go. Better work on that before I head out to see Dropkick Murphys, Against Me! and Off With Their Heads.

Circles 'round the Moon

I can't wait to get a new camera (hooray tax refund!). But till I can make a decision on what to get you all need to still deal with these mediocre photos.

Spinning in Circles is a Gateway Drug

I love using lyrics or song titles when I can't come up with my own blog title. I'm so original!

Good news, you'll soon me able to get my jewelry at a store right here in Chicago. I'll update as soon as I drop the goods off. I ordered a bunch more supplies today so it might be 2-3 more weeks until stuff is done.

Necklace!

Posed photo = awkward smile.

So last night I made a necklace! I can't wait to make more, I thought of jewelry designs all day at work today. This one is made with a wooden round chip and a chipboard button. I sprayed it with a clear gloss sealant, but I would like to try resin at some point.
