Many pairs of earrings behind the cut! Careful, image heavy! I apologize for the TERRIBLE picture quality. My digital camera screen cracked and now I can't see how the pics have turned out until I download to my computer. . .boo. . .

My new love is funky earrings made out of buttons. I'm finding that there are no end of effects that I can achieve with buttons. . .And buttons in any sense are adorable! All of these earrings were designed and made by me. The findings are mostly nickel-plated since I don't have very sensitive ears and haven't invested in a big batch of silver-plated findings. Thanks so much for looking! I'm so grateful for any feedback, I don't know if these appeal to the general masses as much as they do to me. . .:)

I feel that the color combination adds a little bit of dressiness to this design. . .They could possibly be worn to a formal type event, I think. . .
