It's the big button swap reveal day!

Today is the day!  All of the button swappers in Michelle Mach's swap party are showing off our projects today!  I'm very excited to show you the buttons I received from my fabulous partner, Lody Steward, and share with you one of the pieces that I've made...so far.  The picture above has all the buttons EXCEPT for the one that I used first :-)

Ta-daaaaa!  Here it is:

It is a large pierced shank button in a bronze color that I decided to turn into a charm holder pendant.  I'm going to write up the instructions and share them with you in a couple of weeks...it's an easy project, and lots of fun.  Here's the finished necklace:

And here is a bracelet that Lody made, using a little antique steel-cut button that I sent to her as part of her new stash.  Isn't this cool?  I love using buttons as part of a clasp:

Here's a list of all the button swap partiers...hope more of you will join in next time!  Michelle reminded us to tell you that she is hosting a button giveaway, and any comment that you leave on any of these blogs will count as an entry, so get hopping ;-)
