Button, Button....

I am a button lover and collector. There is something nostalgic about buttons that I think most people can connect with. Buttons are tiny little treasures that hold things together. Most everyone has a button box, or bag, or tin for whatever reason it may be, we hang on these buttons. For me, I always try to think about what piece of clothing each individual button may have adorned. Maybe a little girls new Easter dress, a ladies favorite cardigan, or a man best blue blazer
I take the "traditional" button and have then cast into gold and silver.
These are earrings are cast silver buttons with 14ky wire thread through the button holes.
"BUTTON WINDOW"
These are a series of button bezels that I make to encase buttons from my collection. I designed these bezels on CAD and had them cast into metal. This is one of my favorite.
"CHELSEA"
(i named this after my best friend Chelsea, this button reminds me of her)

"WHERE YOUR BUTTON ON YOUR HEART"

These are my signature button necklaces. They are the perfect everyday necklace you can wear is on it's own or you can layer it with more necklaces. Perfect, I must say.....
"CUTE AS A BUTTON"


This is another one from button collection. This one reminds me of the Rabbit hole that Alice fell into from Alice in Wonderland.
"ALICE"
