button wednesday

Inspired by the 'Button Lady's' of Zsazsazsu, Fleur Fatale and Kraplap, I had a go at making some rings and brooches with old vintage buttons.  Some of them belonged to my grandmother, and I am proud that I can wear them now.  It was fun to do and gives me the good  feeling of recycling and using some of the stuff I keep in boxes, labelled 'one day I will make something really nice with this'.

these are 2 brooches. 

the little button on the top is made of Czech glass

Thanks for the idea ladies !  I really enjoyed myself making these. I told my mum, and she said she had a box filled with old buttons too.  So maybe there will be more of these...

As you can see I used a better camera this time.  In stead of my super simple and rather outdated camera, I used my husbands  sophisticated camera with a billion little buttons and menus that keep confusing me.  Sometimes I am very blond... I know...
