Add a Vintage Button

One of the things I thought about while in Santa Fe, was that I am not scheduling jewelry making time into my life right now.  And I think I need it. I have been trying to figure out how to work in a day a week to make jewelry.  Well, I got an hour in tonight, and here is the result.

I am fascinated by the big and chunky jewelry that is trendy right now.  I mixed a bunch of stuff together.  
  • the button is one my mother in law gave me ages ago, it is vintage...if you call the 50s vintage
  • some dyed coral discs
  • I bought the round silver beads in Santa Fe, don't they really look Santa Fe-ish?
  • the two big red beads are hollow glass, I made them
  • the huge chunk that is turquoise color is a mexican opal
  • the smaller turquoise color bead is dyed magnacite, sort of looks like turquoise
  • and I added a flat square silver bead from my stash and made some seed bead rings
That was fun, I really do need to make more time for this,
