Day 21 : D'Anjou

One Button a Day 2020 by Gina Barrett - Day 21: D'Anjou

Day 21 : D'Anjou


Today's button is another trial for new moulds - which I am quite happy with in the end. Turned out a little more couture than I thought it might. D'Anjou - a type of pear, and one that also has a red variety. 

I've used silk satin and Au Ver a Soie Soie Perlee thread (I love this thread), and placed a second satin covered disc at the back to protect the layers.

Size: 25mm / 1" /  40L
