I was lucky enough to receive
one of these ceramic buttons from
Mellisa of
My first impression was of
something beachy
( maybe I imagined an impression from an old pirate coin?)
...and of course the color was to die for.
I thought of things you would collect
along the beach
beach glass, starfish and sand dollar.
I thought of the bubbles on the beach
and small flowers in the grass.
I used some pretty turquoise sari silk
that just happened to be the perfect match.
Many thanks to Mellisa for her
lovely ceramics!

I KNOW you had to be as smitten with that button as I was!! I like how you used the darker blue to accent the light blue and those little flowers along the chain are gorgeous!! It's a gorgeous design Patty!

Oh Patty, this gorgeous necklace is just calling out for a sundress, a wide brimmed hat and bare feet in the sand! I love it! Are the flowers on the chain MOP? So sweet. Great work!

Sooo pretty. Just looking at it makes me feel like I'm walking on a sandy beach, watching the waves as they kiss the shore.
