return of the blue button charm bracelet (again) and spring fun

The blue button charm bracelet is back again! I feel like I need to keep making these since I've sold three of them and given one as a gift that was very well received. Here's the new one:


My Awesome Chicks of Etsy Spring Challenge entry is listed on the Awesome Chicks blog now. You can see the entry by clicking here. You can also view a bigger shot of the bracelet on my flickr photostream. This was the bracelet that I mentioned previously that I don't think I'll be able to part with. After I finished it, I had a beautiful mix of Czech seed beads left. I added some purple beads and made this piece:


I am still open to button exchanging if anyone is interested! I sent a little bundle off to KreatedbyKelly today and am looking forward to my exchange package from her in the mail soon. Please let me know if you want a package heading your way, too.

I have a couple more new pieces finished but not photographed yet. Hopefully I will have them listed within the next week or so.

new listing and an exchange offer

I listed a new piece today:


I have a couple other finished pieces that I'll be listing over the next few days, including a new blue button charm bracelet. I finished my Awesome Chicks of Etsy Spring Challenge piece as well. I fully intended to list it my shop when I started it, but I'm seriously thinking about keeping it now. I have an idea for something similar that I can make and list in my shop the future. The deadline for the challenge is the first day of spring. I will post pictures of the item and more about the challenge then.

Would any fellow button jewelry makers/button crafters of any sort be interested in doing a button exchange? It would be very simple: We would each send each other a bag of buttons from our own stashes so that we got new buttons to work with for our creations. If anyone is interested, please leave me a comment here or convo me on Etsy!
