Day 27 : Gateway

One Button a Day 2020 by Gina Barrett - Day 27: Gateway

Day 27 : Gateway


An experiment for today's button - using copper wire. Really, I think I thinner wire would have been easier and probably look a little more refined, but I do like this copper wire and the way it feels. So, I'm quite happy!

You'll have probably noticed the buttons tend to be posted a little later on a Monday - that's usually because first thing on a Monday is about sorting weekend orders. Just in case you wondered... :)

I've used a No 11 hexagon mould, copper wire and No 12 perle thread.

Size: 26mm / just over 1" / 40L

    Interesting idea to use wire. Really appreciate the details you give for each button.
