Anne Choi bird button with nest bead This was the first button pendant I made; I've been so inspired that I am making lots of them and writing a how-to so that others can use their favorite buttons and beads together! I made the nest bead specially to go with this beautiful sterling silver button from Anne. The button measures a bit over one inch across. $58.00 |

Classic Crazy Quilt I ran a friend's booth at a quilt show a few weeks ago and was inspired to make some crazy quilt-inspired beads. This one recalls the classic colors of dark red and black velvet and adds a vintage-toned floral pattern, embroidered with golden-yellow. Topped with a vintage button. Heart measures one inch across the widest point. $38.00 |

Chinese Vase Pendant I was inspired by the floral patterns of Chinese porcelain when making this bead. The delicate, almost abstract floral designs have long been among my favorites so here they are in a very pretty bead. Paired with a vintage button of genuine mother-of-pearl. Vase bead measures just over one inch long. $52.00 |
