Old Stuff
About this design:
In rifling thru my drawer of beads I came across the old sunflower button and some Bumble Bee Jasper I forgot I had. So, it all inspired this necklace. Just something fun, which is doubtful I would put in my shop...which BTW is stilled closed. I am going to order a new label printer this month.
Components:
Ceramic button, Bumble Bee Jasper, seeds, Czech glass, not sure what the pendant is, sari silk and copper lobster.Additional Images:

Crystal Canary says:Love how you used the sunflower button. The warm colors in the necklace drew me right in. It has a summer vibe & warmth especially with the tulips & leaf.
Hope you get your new labeler soon. Can you just label by hand, or does Etsy require special equipment? I’m sure you want to get your shop up & running soon.

sweetjane says:You can label by hand. But…right now I have no transportation and can’t get to the post office. If I had a label printer I could do it all and put it out for the mail person.
