Buttons and Rings and Gems - Oh My!

A few weeks ago, during a fit of crankies over the seemingly endless gloomy weather, I pulled out all my buttons and gems and set to making the most colorful rings I could think of.  I didn't take a picture of my final products, and then my mother came and wiped out my inventory, so all I have to show you are the ones I kept for myself.

Apparently, I prefer more neutral colors for my own accessories.

For this week's Crafty Sunday, I decided it was time to make some more! It's really just so much fun and though I'm a little commitment-phobic when it comes to officially gluing everything together (do I really like the colors together? is that rhinestone too much? or not enough?), the final results are really satisfying. If you have any ring blanks and buttons lying around, I highly recommend seeing what you come up with, as it's one of the quickest and easiest projects you could work on.

Awaiting permanent assembly.

I swear I actually glued everything into final rings, but did I remember to take a picture? Nope.

Ahh! I've been MIA!

Sorry about the long absence but last week was all about getting ready to be out of town, then actually BEING out of town for a long Halloween weekend, and catching up on everything this week now that I'm back. The cool weather of Philly and DC has totally reinspired me and the knitting needles are back to happily click-clacking away. I hope to have lot's of stuff ready for posting in the shop soon! I'm even gonna try to squeeze in a photoshoot this weekend. Meanwhile, here're some rings I've been working on to replace the ones I gave away to my nearest and dearest gal pals over the weekend (I've missed them so!)

Why yes, my rings DO belong in a Tiffany box.

I'll be back next week to my regular blogging schedule. Have a great weekend!
