A Beautiful Button

This beautiful antique steel cut button was rusty and a bit bent when I purchased it, but some sanding and a light application of the hammer left it just right for this 'enchanted night' necklace. Vintage Japanese cotton pearls and hand made hematite beads combine with a modern chandelier drop.
I am back knitting and sewing for now, so who knows what will appear next, it is nice to never be bored.

Julie, this is stunning. Very beautiful indeed. Yes, I'm back to knitting, too! Why I am getting back into knitting as our days get warmer, I don't know -- at least you have a good excuse!
