Brides Across America

Recently I was asked to re-create some missing buttons from a dress donated to a military bride by Brides Across America.

This is one of the original buttonsAnd here are my copies work in progress, worked over an Ivory Silk Charmuese Bridal Button, then beaded with dozens of tiny clear cupped sequins, silver lined clear seed beads and centred with a bigger seed bead.
Brides Across America donates free wedding dresses to brides either serving in the military or marrying a serving soldier, as a way of saying thank you for their services. www.bridesacrossamerica.com

Positions…Please!

Developed from Wooden Flower Bead Insert Buttons, with flowers in different positions. Current project.

Haauuullll!!! New Colours

Picked up a few new colours to add to the bridal collection, Dusky Rose and Dark Red, ready for bridal buttons and roses.

A few of my little friends!

These have been keeping me a little busy lately. Love the way the light has played on the surface of the satin through the blind slats and leaves of a tree outside the window. They are actually a mid silver grey and not so light as the pictures.

1000 (& 1) Sales!

Overnight we reached the milestone which has been hanging over us for sometime now, seemingly unobtainable with the current climate, but late last night the Button Shop reached the Big 1000 sales number. Well technically it was a multi item order & came out at 1001, but we finally made it, in 2 years and 2 months.
