Title: ROMANCING THE BUTTONThe cuff that I chose to make is light and easy to wear. I combined wire, textured poly clay, a hand crafted faux enamel bead, silk, a tiny brass charm, and two buttons.
Buttons sent by my partner, the lovely Marti Conrad. A large rust color ceramic button stamped and glazed with a beautiful frosty blue glaze. A wood flower shape button in beige, edged in rust, and three lovely textured glass buttons which I chose not to use at this time. They may become earrings later.Thank you Marti, I love the buttons you sent, hope you like what I made with them.

Thank you to Michelle Mach for organizing this fun button swap and challenge.
