A few years ago, a friend gave me 6 beautiful coconut buttons. I decided then that I was going to make a bracelet from them. I finally finished making it yesterday. [I tried photographing it on me, but my hands look too wrinkly!]
I stitched the buttons to a crocheted brown base band. The bracelet feels so comfy - chunky and yet delicate. Thanks E. I finally put them to good use.
The crocheted cuffs have done so well on my stand at the market. I have been experimenting with different colours and patterns. I usually use string, but have made some for myself from Vinni hand dyed cotton.
I've tried a new pattern too.
I love the daisy type stitch which originated from a vintage Hamlyn book on crochet for the family. The original pattern was 1 of three for hairbands and watch straps!

I just love what you did with the buttons!
And the cuffs look great with different patterns and colours.
At the risk of re-re-re-re-re-repeating myself ... you amaze me!
I have a few of those buttons as well! Not enough to make a bracelet, though.
awesome! loving these, esp the button bracelet :)

Really it is a nice blog, I would like to tell you that you have given me much knowledge about it.
