Day 279 - Rosie

Day 279 : Rosie

Today's button is named for a friend - which I don't do too often, but the whole time I was working on this I thought this would be just the sort of button that she might create, and the colours are perfect.

That little bit that looks like an apostrophe is a little fold - the padding on this button is on that side, not the whole button. The fold is much clearer in darker light, it creates a nice shadow and texture. The stitching is a combination of cross stitches and the long stitches which I have then woven.

Still busy busy packing orders. Hermes didn't show today for one of the collections, so another long day tomorrow waiting.

Another doodle button today. This one is worked over a button that I refer to as a four point zwirnknopfe in my Dorset & Other Ring Buttons course. I've then worked additional weaving and wrapping in other colours. I think this really illustrates how you can start with something simple and change it quite a bit. Which of course means that anyone can come up with a totally unique design!

I do hope that you are all having a lovely weekend, and that the coming week is great for you.

A straightforward doodle button today - I like the colours, this could be fancy parquetry or a really posh chocolate! 

What a damp and dismal day it has been - continual drizzle. The forecast is for some localised flooding, so I am really hoping that clears for Monday. 

Keep safe and well everyone.
