Candie Cooper shared a demo from FlatLand Artistry at the Dallas Pinners Conference just a little while ago. It was so interesting and inspiring, I had to save a link. I can’t seem to share it here, but look it up on Candie Cooper’s facebook page, under videos, Sept. 13, 2019. Here’s a screenshot: 
When I spotted this swirling gold focal component in Candie Cooper’s Etsy shop, I knew it’d be great for capturing a Czech glass button.
I auditioned several and decided on this amber swirly one: 
The chain tassels, I had on hand. All are from Michael’s. The middle one had to be removed from a lip shell and is a slightly different shade of faux gold. I may swap it out for a gold silk one before I’m finished.
I am pleased with it, and especially with the back:
The Czech button had a metal shank. I snipped it away with shears and filed it with a diamond file.
I wasn’t particularly pleased with the looks of that, so I hunted one of my tiny brass hummingbird stampings:
A little E6000 and ta-da!
A heavy gold bail and chain, and I might consider this one finished!
The enamel on the hand pressed button, is 24K, by the way!
I’m playing a game with myself. I can’t start any new jewelry project until I finish two old ones. That way, many years from now, I’ll catch up!
This red bracelet is patterned after the one Candie Cooper taught us at the JTV Experience. I’m making it for myself. I’ve ordered tiny tassels to put on the ends. They’ve not arrived so I can’t consider it finished. I guess I’ll need to finish something else’s in it’s place, before I start something new. There’s always a kumicord to work on…
This is what I did with the charms from Vintaj via Candie Cooper. I worried about how soft the wire is I used to wrap the glass leaves, so I hammered a piece. 
I decided against hammering the 26 gauge copper and finished the necklace with faux leather cord and antique copper findings.
I made earrings, too!
