'galaxy' earrings and button charm bracelet

From street-chic jewellery by Susie Johns .

Had an unexpectedly quiet evening yesterday, Mum was babysitting and Dad was watching something complicated which I couldn't follow, so I got my jewellery kit out and this book, which is full of gorgeous projects. The results?

 
"Galaxy" earrings - opaque blue and transparent white rocailles with silver flower charms. 
And later in the evening:
     
 

Button charm bracelet - this was my first attempt at using chain I'd cut myself rather than a ready-made charm bracelet, and I'd been looking for a way to use these gorgeous buttons for ages :)

I'm pleased with how both projects turned out and will definitely be doing some more from this book. First craft experiment - successful!
