Day 330 : Jack Frost

 

Day 330 : Jack Frost

Last night it turned really cold - it is time for us to get out the other blankets! I was honestly freezing all night and am currently snuggled in 3 layers plus my dressing gown. I think that probably dictated the colours.

I really should get more expensive beads (these are not). The sizes would be consistent, so designs like would be more even when finished. I still like it though, and reckon it would look just as nice using reds and oranges to be a sparkly sun!

Day 329 : Dot

Goodness, my ability to create wonderful names for my buttons is sadly lacking at the moment! Sorry about that. For this button I had an idea that using silk along the outer circles would create a sort of soutache look, which has worked, but not how I had envisaged it. Next time I will use much finer silk, I think that would give a better effect. 

And yes, there is often a next time. Because of the challenge and trying to create a different button, you don't always get to see the second or third try if it isn't vastly different. That would be boring for you!

Mixed day today, I hope that yours has been very good, not so-so 😊

Day 328 - Forest

A simple doodle button zwirnknopfe button today. What you can't see here is that the red thread is a fine wool - I decided to play about with textures. It really works in real life, adds a nice contrast of dull and shiny with the perle cotton. So I am quite pleased with it. 

I'm shattered today! Must be last week catching up with me. But the day has been bright (but freezing - we can't be let off that lightly, lol) so we shouldn't moan.

Goodness, Bob Mortimer is hilarious. Watching repeats of Would I lie to you as I write this and can't stop laughing. If you need cheering up, I highly recommend any episode with this man as a guest.
