Day 285 : Square Knot

 

Day 285 : Square Knot

Well, you actually can't see it - but this knot is over a square bead. I was really chuffed with how it turned out. 

It has been a very eventful day. I'll elaborate later on, nothing dreadful or anything, but I'm actually pretty tired out and now have a fair bit of regular things to catch up on!

Day 284 : Souffle

 

Day 284 : Souffle

Mark named today's button. A traditional style - most often made with soutache but really many braids and cords can be used. I was actually trying out a way of doing the centre to see if I could make it easier for a beginner. Not quite yet! I'll figure it out. 

I hope that you are all having a good weekend - weather has slightly improved for us, forecast a bit brighter tomorrow, so time to check the last of the veg in our garden. One lettuce got really soggy in the bad weather a while back, so I left it. It has now gone to seed, quite an impressive plant actually!

Size: 27mm / 1 1⁄16" / 42L

Day 283 : Spin

 

Day 283 : Spin

A little button today - and one that I really should have worked larger. That's because I tried something different, but you really need to peer at it to see it, so I will have to try the same thing on something larger, just to see if it does look as different as I thought.

Well, long week and I am going to have a little lie-in tomorrow I think. I hope that you all have a very good weekend.
