What un-buttony things are your buttons doing?

Buttons

I collect buttons. I purchase ones that fit my style. Some of these are beads. I made some of them and some of them are given to me by kind friends who know I love buttons.

My friend Sharon got these for me. They are rubbery, love that!

I made these.

These are from an etsy seller from Mexico.

...and my friend Mary gave these to me, aren't they perfect!

...and see those silver thingys in the bottom right hand side, I took a pmc class with my friend Kim and made those.

Treasures

I found feathers at a local antique shop (buy local) I can't wait to get started. Pearls have been a really important material for me all along, but I'm trying new combo's that I love. Not So Prim Pearls, a little more fun and edgy than the classic pearls. I dig finding the vintage treasures almost as much as I love creating the jewelry. I get inspired by the smallest things buttons, costume jewelry, fabric and just great forms and colors! Happy Hunting!lisascala.com
