This is a series of button blank necklaces and each one has its own personality.

The long back story…..

’Once a upon a time 30 years ago, I went to Indonesia to poke around and see what I might find to use in my work. I have a love for Mother of Pearl buttons, and given the amount of clothing being made in that part of the world, there were good odds of finding button factories.

I talked my way into one of the factories, and as I walked through the workshop, I saw button blanks on the floor. The pieces that were left over AFTER the buttons were drilled. I lost all interest in buying buttons, and much to the owner’s surprise, I asked to buy the blanks. I picked up as many as I could, and left feeling like a dragon taking my treasure back to my lair!
