Day 289 : Sugar Plum

 

Day 289 : Sugar Plum - One Button a Day 2020 by Gina Barrett


Day 289 : Sugar Plum


I know, the name is a bit out of season, but this toggle button made me think of candy, and I already have a button named Candy! The centre is a nice dark plum sort of shade, so I think it works. Perhaps if the Sugar Plum fairy wears a duffle coat with toggles in bad weather, these would be the ones. Gosh I like that imagine! The Sugar Plum Fairy in a duffle coat! Might have to get the sketchbook out tonight! I like these types of toggle button, the ends are effectively mini pompoms, and who doesn't like a pompom, really? The binding is a Turks head knot. 

I hope that those of you about to go into new lockdown measures are doing ok. It is very frustrating that things are picking up again.

Size: 18mm / 3⁄4" / 30L
