Necklace #161 has a double-up center of a vintage metal and a celluloid button, with textured celluloid buttons making up the rest. It's on the spotted crisp cotton bias tape.
Necklace #162 is a mix of celluloid (the larger ones) and Bakelite (the smaller ones) buttons on the polka dots again.
and Necklace #164 is mostly shiny Bakelite, with a buckle in the center doubled up with a button with a deep central groove. I like the way the dots on the bias tape show through the applejuice-style Bakelite button up to the right there. Not sure if the triangles and the two-color four-hole cream and black button are Bakelite or another old plastic.
Buttons covered in vintage Japanese kimono silk are a visual/textural pleasure as well:
Necklace #160, on Japanese chirimen polyester bias tape.
