Sunday Evening Art Gallery — Melinda Hutton

Closures/Remnants was born when Melinda Hutton, designer and artist, stumbled upon the world of antique buttons 26 years ago and became hooked.Since then, she has been designing jewelry using antique and collectible buttons and has expanded her work to include handcrafting new pieces from well-loved vintage remnant pieces.Each piece is a one-of-a-kind, handcrafted piece of artwork.Texture, color, shape and type of button are factors Hutton considers at length before her designs are complete.As an artist, Hutton’s goal when designing is to create a very personal, heirloom quality piece of jewelry that will be worn often and for years to come.She combines old buttons with each other or with other ephemera to create one-of-a-kind jewelry.More of Melissa Hutton’s work can be found at https://www.closures-remnants.com/.
