Here are a few images of more buttons!
These are a few necklaces that I have made with buttons.
This necklace started with the wonderful wrapped metallic gold center piece given to me by a friend. The necklace base is made from silk rouleau and rayon cording wrapped and curled into an entwined pattern. The beads, buttons and extras are attached at random, using a free-form peyote technique.
This is a technique that I call “train tracks”, the buttons are attached through two layers of silk rouleau. The beads and charms are added on after the buttons.
This necklace started with a base made from ruched velvet ribbon. The buttons are made from abalone and muscle shell, jade, turquoise, and other materials. Seed beads and larger beads were used for the dangles.
This necklace was made using a right-angle weave pattern, the base is comprised of seed beads, pearls, and buttons made from muscle shell.
This necklace started with a base made from ruched velvet ribbon. The buttons are made from glass and metal, seed beads and vintage glass beads and charms were used for the dangles.
Hope that you enjoyed looking! Happy stitching! ~Christen

Hi Rita, thank you for all of your thoughts, and wonderful inspiration! Love, Christen
Christen, As we are staying home for now, I have gone partway through my partly finished projects. This month, I am working on the 2002 Piecemakers Calendar. Folded within the blocks, I found the silk ribbon embroidery sample from a lesson you did at The Shepherdess in San Diego, where I used to live. Thank you for continuing your work, sharing your expertise with others.
