Button Up - my article in Belle Armoire Jewelry

Look what I found in my mailbox a few days ago.
The Spring 2012 issue of Belle Armoire Jewelry which hits the newsstands today. It's just as beautiful and inspiring as ever!


The featured artist in this issue is Deryn Mentock. One of her gorgeous pieces graces the cover and inside is a wonderful article showcasing more of her lovely designs. Also included in this issue are some fascinating soldered heart box pendants by Diana Frey.

I'm thrilled to join company with them
and the other talented artists in this issue!

The article featuring my designs is called
Button Up


Each piece pairs vintage buttons with metal clay
to create a unique pendant or pair of earrings.

The inspiration for these pieces came to me one day as I was sorting through some vintage buttons from my mom's old sewing stash.





I love that each piece has a little
reminder of my mom included in it!
