Vintage Image Button Necklace
There were four image buttons to choose from before I settled on this grouping of three.
I was editing some very old postcard files in photoshop this week to make some new buttons for my magnet wall at the Blue Banana store in Toronto. After making a few, I decided I just had to find a way to wear them. I love these 1920's woman. They are so glamorous. This kissing series is one of my favorites.
I knew when I bought my button making machines that I would do more than just make pins or magnets. Since I have so many jewelery components it is easy to see how quickly I joined these classic 1 1/2 inch buttons into this bigger pendant.
I am sure it will catch they eye when I wear it. Perhaps I will put it on when I go downtown to rearrange my magnet wall.
Too cool! Would you be willing to share what kind of button maker you have? Your results are lovely and I have a hard time imagining them being pounded together between two nylon dies, the only kind of button maker I have seen!
Lovely Carmi! It's so nice to be able to make your own unique components.
