Day 42 : Burgeon

One Button a Day 2020 by Gina Barrett - Day 42: Burgeon

Day 42 : Burgeon


Today's button is actually quite a bit brighter than the photo - it's that bright, spring green over black. The weather is pretty rough, but you know, spring is on it's way!

I've used a cover button as the base, one that requires a button machine with dies to compress the two parts together. I love mine - and want to collect all the dies ever available, just as to have them... (yes, I am odd!). Over this I have couched a cord that I made from rayon thread, and then added grappé to finish the edge. And yes, the button decoration is purposely a little off centre!

Size: 23mm / just under 1" / 36L
