Thrifty Britches

Don't you dare waste a scrap of glass.
I use up every short rod, little dinky pile of frit and even the popped off end flakes to make buttons.


 

































I make mine a little differently than most.
They're done off mandrel and the holes are pierced and then flame polished.
The holes are super smooth and rounded, so they will never cut your thread or yarn.

Here's a little strawberry button.
I just put all of these in my etsy shop (SOLD OUT)

What's She Building In There?

Working on a couple of necklaces.

































These necklaces are called 'Hippie Chick' necklaces.

I take my big dish of stray single beads and lay out a pretty necklace.
Then just simply rosary chain them together with bronze or sterling silver.
This time I added some ceramic and bone skulls.
