Woodland Flower Necklace


Here is a photo of a new idea I tried... incorporating some beading, flower shaped buttons and splashes of color to create this woodland flower necklace. An ornate copper colored button is a focal point. Shades of brown, amber crystal beads, copper colored filigree beads and touches of pink and yellow seed beads make up the beads that go around the neck.

It was then embellished with various buttons and beads that were all handstitched on this crocheted wool yarn bracelet. The focal point button is an antique gold button with amber colored rhinestones. It is about 2 & 1/4" wide and has a button and loop closure and has a leather backing.
