Almost Time for the Annual Salon and Almost the End of 2013....

In the run-up to the annual Salon des Artistes next Sunday (Dec. 8 - please scroll down for Salon details and for the link to the photo album of available work), here are a few more sparkly, wintry pieces:

Necklace #88.  The central button is fabric-covered and set with rhinestones (from a 1960s housecoat, maybe?) and the other buttons are likely 1950s plastic with rhinestones.  It's on the Japanese chirimen polyester bias tape.

 

Necklace #87.  Vintage metal and rhinestone buttons on chirimen polyester bias tape.

And then there are a few more, with covered buttons or buttons from the stash:

Necklace #83.  These buttons are covered in fabric from a Japanese promotional hankie - rayon or polyester - on chirimen polyester bias tape.

Necklace #84.  These buttons are covered with the fabric lining a Japanese denim jacket that a friend was modifying - rayon or even cotton.  They are on chirimen polyester bias tape.

Necklace #86.  Lines and swirls with bakelite and other vintage plastic buttons on cotton/linen bias tape.

See you at the Salon!
