Button Swap Reveal

The reveal day has finally come for the button swap organized by Michelle Mach! My partner is Cyndi Lavin, and here are the buttons I mailed for her.Cyndi sent me my buttons super early, in which I had to use a couple right away... as a clasp for this leather wrap bracelet. And this huge MOP shell which I knew right away will be a focal on one of my bead embroidered pendants... it can be used as a brooch as well.

These are the other buttons which are still in the works. I will reveal the finished pieces in the next few days.Michelle is hosting a button giveaway so don't forget to visit her blog for further details.

    Lody, I've already seen the bracelet of course, so you *know* I love it. But the MOP pendant/brooch is new to me, and it's just WONDERFUL!! You are such a talented girl :-)

    Your embroidery really sets off that Mother of Pearl Button.

    I love the way you used the button as a clasp. Can't wait to see what you do with the rest. And that beaded one is outstanding.

    That bracelet look super fun for summer! It looks like the kind of thing that is so comfortable that you could wear it everyday.

    I really love the bracelet! I agree with the other comments--it's the perfect "everyday" accessory! I love the pendant, too--how clever of you to add beads covering the button holes!

    Thanks for joining the swap!

    Lody, what a pretty bracelet. What a clever way to use the button, as a clasp! And your beaded focal/brooch is amazing. I'm always in awe of this style of jewelry as it is all new to me! I can appreciate the workmanship and detail though.
