Day 160 : Push

Day 160 : Push.

See what I did there? haha.

Super simple button today. I've used a rather thick slice bead from my stash - 6mm high - and wrapped it using a death's head wrap. However, the thick shape needed something to ensure it all stays, so what isn't super clear in this image is four rows of weaving around the side. Oh, and I used a No 12 cotton perle.

I guess, because I chose red, the button is a stop button...

Day 159 : Dither

Day 159 : Dither.

Today's button was more mondful than the name suggests - a little padded piece of eco-dyed fabric and a meadering couched piece of gimp. The background is a basic zwirnknopfe wrap with cotton perle No 12, to give a ground to work the other stitching.

I'm really not at all sure what I'll be doing for tomorrow's button. I usually have at least an idea in mind, but that's not really happened today. I'm sure I'll figure something out...

Size : 30mm / 1 1⁄4" (nearly) / 48L 

Day 158 : Boxy

Day 158 : Boxy.

Another doodle button. This time I used a variegated thread for the majority of the button - I do like to see how the colours end up, with some techniques it lines up so well. It did this time, which I was surprised about as I wasn't thinking about it. I was rather hoping for something a little more uneven :)

For use, the weather has changed - got caught in a thunderstorm yesterday and somehow still feel damp today! Still, a few more days of rain should help my sinuses. Keep well everyone.
