New Product...Whad'ya think?

So, with the ushering in of the new year, I really wanted to try something new in my shop. As you know, my work usually involved antique and vintage clothing buttons. Rest assured, buttons do not get harmed, drilled, shanks cut, etc. This is because to do so reduces the value of the buttons to -zero-. Sad, but true. Nothing hurts worse than to see a fabulous $50 button made into a pendant with the aid of a drill - now that $50 button is worth nothing :(



Anyway, sitting in my studio staring at a couple vintage and antique metal buttons, the wire just happened to find thier way into my hand and the next thing I knew....I was holding a button branch? It is a pendant, measures about 3" long. It is wrapped with silver-tone wire and loosely and artfully accent wrapped with bronze-tone wire. The button at the top is a cut steel button, the other two are twinkle buttons. Emerald Swarovski crystals have been wrapped in also.


I would be greatly appreciative of any feedback! What do you think? Anything you would change?



Thanks for your input!
