"Button's" & Things To Do With Them




When I first moved into my house 7 years ago one of the first things I did was mosaic my fireplace with buttons. I have always had a thing for mosaic and buttons were such a great source for this project. I didn't want the mess of grouting the whole fireplace so these were perfect and it is such a conversation piece when we have parties in our home. Now that my mind is thinking more along the lines of jewelery again I may actually try to use buttons to create the lady charms I have been brainstorming about. I have found the rings I will be using but I'm still puzzled about the charm base for my shrunken paintings with resin project. They may be the perfect thing because they are small and very light weight. I'll keep you posted(O:

These are little Valentines Mice made out of little white stones. I stuck felt hearts on them and then embelished them with bows and eyes. This is a fun Valentines Day craft for my daughter's second grade class!

India

Meet India, she is such a treasure! I made from a tea cup I brought back from India last year. She sits 6 1/2 inches tall. The base she sits on is a beautiful square plate I found in Crate & Barrel that matched the tea cup perfectly. India has been embellished with fabrics I also brought back with me. Her hair is a combination of wool and acrylic fibers and she is jeweled with brass accents. India has henna patterns on the souls of her feet and around the tops of her arms and sits in this peaceful position as she meditates. She's waiting to sit in your home and bring you peace.

Art Doll Mable

Art Doll Mable
Meet Mable, she's trying her best to keep her skin glowing. She believes in nourishing her body from the inside out but once a week a good facial mask and cucumbers on her eyes make all the difference in the world. She stand 8 inches tall and would love to sit on the side of your tub or on your dresser. She could spend hours in the bathroom! * Mable is an original one of a kind decorative Art Doll and not meant to be played with as a toy.
