Oh wow! Just got the coolest buttons from my Button Swap partner, Krista at FrenchElegantJewelry. This is a challenge created by Michelle Mach. You can read all about it here.
What I am learning through all of these wonderful bead challenges is simply priceless. With Marcie's Margie and Me challenges, I have been pushed way outside my normal range of color, to explore and mix colors in new and unusual ways. With the Bead Soup party, I had to give up the control of choosing the beads, and work with items I wasn't used to thinking about. Now I get to work with buttons that have, again, been chosen by someone else. The cool part? Krista sent me awesome buttons!!!
Check that brilliant pink flower!
There's and adorable little sparkly star in there, a couple of sweet pearl buttons, and don't you just love the glittery shine in the green one with the military goldtone ones?
Love the swirly smokey look of the big one, and the black one really sets off the colors in the purple/lavender button.
This one is just fabulous. It will definitely be one of my first projects!
Here's the back side of it. Almost as pretty as the front! Well, I have lots of ideas "swirling" in my head, so I'm gonna go play!
Blessings,
Shirley
