Wh...All of your pieces are so unique and beautiful. Where to begin! The parrot bracelet is so colorful and fun. A great summer piece. In the pinky lavender necklace, I love your solution to the adjustability by enameling some copper tubing. And the bead you enameled is spectacular, too. I enamel, too! I have several blog posts about enameling and my workshops with Barbara. Did you take a workshop with her?<br /><br />The necklace with the Czech button is spectacular and you certainly did justice to that gorgeous button. And the birdhouse necklace, again, just fantastic.Cyndi Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05300974884525124898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15746875.post-40764011346230973982012-05-16T17:35:09.647-07:002012-05-16T17:35:09.647-07:00Each design completely different and perfect for e...Each design completely different and perfect for each button - beautiful pieces!!

I was lucky to just finish the one necklace! ;-) I wish we had met up at Bead Fest in the Spring - I was there too!<br />The way you incorporated the parrot button in to the colorful floral bracelet is just so perfect and whimsical. I absolutely love it!<br />And the sari ribbon mixed with the heart button is so pretty - I just love those colors. Your blue necklace inspired by the button book is another pretty piece - and wow, what a pretty button in the center! I wonder if I have that particular book too...<br />I think my favorite just might be your final necklace with the wire nest and the house focal - the addition of the bird is the perfect accent....the whole necklace is so beautifully composed! And like you, I was racing to take pictures as the sun was going down as well...I think I took my last shots around 6:45 or later! :-)Cindyhttp://www.sweetbeadstudio.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15746875.post-27437645365020442942012-05-14T17:54:00.548-07:002012-05-14T17:54:00.548-07:00They are great pieces, but I especially like the n...They are great pieces, but I especially like the necklace with the little birdhouse button.

That parrot bracelet is so bright and fun, perfect for summer. The purple necklace is beautiful. You are a genius with your adjustable length solution! The blue necklace is really stunning. And that last necklace has so much to admire about it. Oddly enough I received a house button too and was stumped as to what to do with it. One of my solutions had it attached to a metal piece on the back as well. I don't think mine would have turned out as cool as yours though. There are so many neat accents and bits to yours. It's fabulous! Wonderful job overall. Oh! And I'd be hoarding that beaded button too! ;)CraftyHopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10341033878002504601noreply@blogger.com
