Day 349 : Triskele II

 

Day 349 : Triskele II

Today's button is a variation of my Triskele button from my last One Button a Day challenge in 2016. A different direction and method of working - and of course the ring! I had forgotten I had these and came across them last night while looking for something entirely different, as you do. One of my on-line students recently worked a lovely Triskele and posted it to the Facebook group - it reminded my how much I like working them, and it does rather fit nicely on the triangular shape. 

I hope that your Monday is better than mine has been!

Day 348 : Swirl

 

Day 348 : Swirl

I am pleased with this - and have a couple of other ideas based on it too now. I like it when that happens. I used the Dorset technique of covering the ring first, so this is a Dorset button. There's a lot of interest lately again in the buttons, and I am sure that many call all buttons made of thread Dorsets - I know that I am now going to have to use the hastag #dorsetbuttons as that is what people look for when they want to see any of these buttons on social media (or they might miss mine!). 

If you happen to have stumbled over here looking for Dorset buttons, perhaps my little blog post about the differences may help you to see that there are differences, and not all thread buttons are Dorset buttons - https://www.ginabsilkworks.blog/2020/02/dorset-button-not-dorset-button.html

Day 347 : Doodle Wheel

 

Day 347 : Doodle Wheel

Just playing with thread and a Dorset wheel for today's button. Been a busy day again - the usual, and I decided to watch a film before posting today. Eating blueberries and watching a film - that's ok for an old lady on a Saturday night in tier 3, don't you think?

I hope that you are all having a great weekend.
