Necklace #103 (as it is currently known). I kept the contemporary plastic triangle and the silver plastic buttons (and the chirimen polyester bias tape) but changed out the former accents (small blue triangles and round red balls) for these contemporary plastic chile-like buttons and flatter red accents at the top.
Necklace #106 now. I moved the vintage rayon-covered buttons to a pink background - they had been on black before - and gave them vintage plastic floral accompaniment. Previously I'd had them with some great, very dimensional contemporary white plastic buttons, which are now busy accenting other things.
And then there are some completely new necklaces, as I gear up for the Salon des Artistes event on December 7th:
Necklace #104. Antique silvered glass buttons with vintage red glass accents, on chirimen polyester bias tape.
Necklace #105. The central button is a contemporary Italian-made polyester one; the other two large buttons are covered in hand-painted cotton/silk by Sandra Holzman (www.sandrasilk.com) and the accents are vintage mother of pearl. They are on a woven cotton Japanese bias tape.
Necklace #108 uses the wild painted-wood buttons my cousin sent me, with a vintage metal central button and dowdy little old covered buttons as the end-off. They are on woven cotton Japanese bias tape.
See the gang of new necklaces (as they multiply - I know they will multiply!) at my Google+ album at https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/105148425797657603947/albums/5669744508708774721. If you are new to the Google+ album format (they give few clues), the album opens as a montage of the photos. Click on any one photo to get the enlargement, the caption at upper right, and the arrows to guide you through the album.
