The big reveal is here!
Here’s the finished ornament featuring a ceramic button from White Clover Kiln, seed beeds, Czech glass and some leftover bits and pieces…
On our tree…with some shadows!

Don’t forget to take a look at the rest of the participating blogs for some more pretty ornaments 🙂
I haven’t posted on this jewellery blog since the Bead Soup swap months ago – but I have been very busy over on my other, fashion-related blog!
Anyway, to get me back into the swing of making and posting regularly, I’m taking part in the Art Bead Scene Holiday Ornament blog hop. Today I’m posting a little teaser of the ornament I’ve made using a gorgeous ceramic art bead:
It’s a bit of an unusual colour scheme for Christmas but the finished ornament looks great! The official ornament reveal and blog hop is December 6th, so be sure to come back then for the final piece and a list of all the participants.

Love the button and how you echoed its shape in the ornament design! Very pretty!
Now THAT is original! Great job!
oh, it’s like jewelry for the tree. i love the mix of browns and blues, it’s very winter-like.
The beading around the ring and button is really different and lovely
The colors are great.. they realy are! And your ornament is great too! very nice done!
The beads you choose are perfect with that button. This is really neat.
lovely!
Beautiful work, I love the close up showing all the details.
Very cute – amazing beadwork! I love the colors!
Very cool! I admire anyone who can stitch those teeny tiny seed beads. I can only manage to string ’em!
Beautiful ornament! Not only does it look great on a tree, but I bet it would make a beautiful necklace as well! Love your seed bead work around the ceramic button.
What a fantastic use of a button and the seed beads really make you look twice!
LOVE that and what a cool use for the beautiful button.
Beautiful beadwork ! Cute button! Love how you did the beading around the button and ring !
I love the way the ring is wrapped. This is a beautiful ornament. Enjoy the day.

This is really nice!… Never thought to go through my button box when I was collecting ‘junk’ to make my ornament!

Gorgeous ornament, love how you added to it to make it be bigger. It would also be a great design for a pendant.
