BBA May Challenge

This month's challenge for the BBA Team is to create something with flowers. If you've been to either of my shops before you know that I like to bust out a rose from time to time, so I thought I'd try to branch out for this one:


This feels more like a marigold to me, or something else with teensy rounded petals. I've used the rhinestone pieces before--they actually start out as buttons--but they normally get turned into hair pieces for the wedding shop. I can't believe I never thought to use them on a necklace before (duh):


I wore it around the house for a while yesterday, feeling very fancy with my yoga pants, and now I've gotten all attached to it and have to make a second one as a sample for the trunk show I'm doing in June. My bad. It will also be listed in the shop, with a few color options, sometime soon.

Have you made any new products lately? (I admit that I've been slacking because of house projects.) Did you do the BBA challenge? What was your item?

    I've been thinking about joining BBA, but I worry a little bit about committing to the challenges.

    What fun to make jewelry out of old buttons. Some of them are so elegant! Nice job. =)
