I just completed a batch of shawl pins for my LYS featuring copper, beads and various charms.  Among  my favorites  are the ones which feature pendants that were hand-crafted by Candace Wilson of One of a Kind Buttons .    Candace's  passion for color and texture is evident in every single piece she creates.  She offers a huge  variety of shapes, sizes and colors guaranteed to enchant and delight!  Made from terracotta or white clay, Candace creates each button from molds forged from her own drawings and fires them twice with 1-3 coats of glaze on them.    No two buttons/pendants are truly alike.
