my latest bit of craft...can someone take a look please ?

[MaryAnnSingleton]

I'm working on ideas for things to sell in a friends new shop and have come up with a little button and sequinned heart to hang up as a decoration - it's at the top of my pictures on my profile page if anyone would be so kind as to look - have to perfect my wire bending a bit but this is the first attempt
!!

oo that's cute !

thank you whizz - I think I need to experiment a bit more but hope I'm going along the right lines !

just checked your profile - lovely necklace !!

You could also use it as a Xmas decoration too - if you want sparkle, I have seen some Swarovski crystal buttons too

I love sparkle !! I stick glitter on cards at every opportunity - I need to be a bit more subtle for this shop though - it's more of a vintage-y look I'm after !!

It looks nice but a bit bare. I don't mean it needs loads more stuff but it looks a bit thin IYSWIM!

more buttons and less wire ?

Or maybe something other than buttons. [ponders] I think it's just that it's only single strand wire in between the buttons. Beads? "springs" of coiled coloured wire threaded over the base wire? Ribbon? Ooooh, I don't know!

maybe some wee beads between the buttons ? don't want to over do it though !

I just think that hung up as decoration it would get "lost" on the wall ATM.

I agree about not overdoing it BTW Can't stand fussy myself.

Or, how about something like a second smaller heart hanging inside the first?

have just hung it on a little tree thing on mantlepiece to get a realitic look at it ! it's quite small, so another heart inside might be fiddly

I like minimal - but how about a crystal drop hanging in the middle to catch the light ?

I think the shop would prefer something non -crystal,maybe a bead of some other kind
