Artists Bracelet

This started with some ceramic buttons that I picked up from a local craft fayre, I thought that they would make a nice chunky bracelet so sourced some beads to compliment them - some from my fab trip to Bijoux Beads. This is my first attempt at button jewellery (more to come!) and my frist stretchy bracelet.
