Series of 12: BeAdazzled Buttons #2341

This series is my Bead Journal Project for 2012. This project is a group of bead embroiderers and we do a series, one each month, for a year. My project this year (my 5th year in the group) is to create a button, on a 2.5" shank, that includes at least one commercial button. These are each $75.

January

#1
Abstract Landscape
Central "sun ray" carved bone button with metal button on top. The sun rays inspired me to form an abstract landscape with flower garden on bottom half using glass beads and aluminum rose, with sky on top half with sun rays, metal stars (with one shooting star) and sequins, using glass beads.
Dim: measures 2 7/8"

February

#2
Hearts and Flowers
Central heart painted wood button with flowers made of glass, aluminum, polymer, lucite and holographic sequins, leaves made of glass and copper and 3 shell hearts, with 3 pearls on cotton. Includes realistic roses, tulips, pansies and a plum blossom. Dim: measures 3"

#3
A healing button for cancer with a secret message for the Universe to support the healing. The button is dedicated to my sister who has started chemo this month. The button used is from Synthetic Plastics, a family business, and the button was named the Susan button after my sister. See the BJP for details on the healing stone.
Dim: measures 2.75"

Set of 2: The Phoenix And The Dragon #2397

Focal glass Phoenix or Dragon (these symbols are on the opposite sides the bead) using glass beads and pearls, on cotton. These are two of the Four Supernatural Spirits in China (the other two are qilin unicorn and tortoise). It is believed when someone sees a phoenix and dragon then he or she will be extremely lucky. Many married couples also keep an image of the dragon and phoenix in their home. The Phoenix represents women and the dragon represents men. The presence of the phoenix and dragon traditionally symbolizes a fruitful marriage blessed with prosperity and success, as well as many male offspring. Dim: on 1.5" shank, measures about 2.25. Price: $40 each or $75 for both.
