Button Swap and Blog Hop!

Well, today's the day for the big Button Swap reveal!

Many thanks to the AMAZING Cindy Wimmer,

the mastermind behind this outstanding button swap!

My partner for this swap was Birgitta Lejonklou from Sweden. Birgitta sent me the most beautiful handmade ceramic buttons. If you like what you see you can find more of her work in her etsy supply shop Angel Whisperer.

My first design keeps things simple.

I loved the large teal sea shell bead and it's big and beautiful enough to stand on its' own! It has a simple wrapped copper bail and hangs from a leather slip cord.

I Sell Sea Shells Down By The Sea Shore

I made a tiny copper tube bead from roller printed copper that slips over the top of the bail.  It's stamped with the word "vänner" which is Swedish for "friends".

Birgitta also sent me a few sparkly vintage buttons that any Magpie would be happy to have in their stash!

Here's a list of all Swap Partners.
