Aha! I thought, I have many vintage covered buttons from the button-snagging I did last winter.
I brushed a bunch of likely candidates with Mod-Podge and this one came out looking super cool!
I adapted their design... mine is a little bigger(about 1.25" across), I used the vintage button, and my beaded bail is embellished with size 15 picots.
I just love the way the design looks like a landscape with clouds... I think it is part of a medallion pattern but I'll never know because I just had this one button.
You can find the pattern here:

I have a few more buttons to try and will update this post when I have more.
Here's a photo of the view outside here today:
Blizzard of 2015! Good day to stay inside and create!
Doesn't 'Random Vintage Button' sound like a good name for a rock band?
