Day 178 : Lily of the Valley


One Button a Day 2020 by Gina Barrett - Day 178 : Lily of the Valley

Day 178 : Lily of the Valley .


Today's button is actually inspired by a stunning button by my friend (and artist) Yoko in Japan. She created the most beautiful iris button. I was going to actually make a tulip (perhaps tonight!) but I saw the beads and thought I would give them a try. I like the effect, and Lily of the Valley is one of my favourite flowers. My button is no where as lovely as hers, but I'll keep practising. 

I've used a No 39 ring, and cotton perle No 12
