My Floral Collage Handbags are soft bags embellished with various combinations of handmade Ribbon Flowers, handmade French wire beaded flowers, and other bead and ribbon embellishments.
I am thrilled to be the selected artist in the November /December 2005 issue of Belle Armoire Magazine, showcasing my Floral Collage Handbags, Ribbon Flower Pins and Ribbon Flower Barrettes.
"Designer Collection: Sharon Fingleton by Ricë Freeman-Zachery
She mixes old textiles with new beads, combining her love of nature with her fascination with hardware, silk ribbons, and other embellishments. Meet Sharon Fingleton, a fiber artist who joyfully recycles faded blue jeans into velvet lined purses and other works of wearable art."
Buttons are often small works of art, examples and reflections of the styles and times. I thought others would enjoy wearing a small piece of history as much as I do. My Vintage Button Bracelets, made with these little treasures, are offered here for your consideration.
Vintage and Antique buttons are very collectible, so you not only have a great bracelet but a small investment that may go up in value.
I do not harm or alter the buttons.
We have a Yorkshire Terrier puppy and a Maltese puppy (all small dogs are puppies forever) that are terribly spoiled so it just made sense to bead collars for them.
Here are a few of my hand-beaded Flower Pins and Ribbon Flower Pins. I've found some really interesting antique and vintage rhinestones on eBay to use in the centers to add to the character and feel of the pieces.
