Day 318 : Bottlecap

 

Day 318 : Bottlecap

Today's button is a variation of the stunning bottlecap buttons that are very popular with button makers at the moment. My dear friend Yoko has just completed (I think) 100 - each with a different cap and threadwork to match the logo. Absolutely the work of an artist! 

This is flipping that over, and very simple in comparison. I do not have any rings large enough to fit the cap inside of, but dropped a ring which landed perfectly inside of the cap. I think I will play with this idea a bit more. Of course, you do have to think about it, as you can't work through metal...

Have a lovely weekend everyone. We will be working hard getting ready to Monday's Button Day Show.

Day 317 : Jollify

 

Day 317 : Jollify

Very odd today. Kinda funny-looking, but kinda neat too. Anyway, makes me smile. 

Late posting today as we've been working really hard - still sorting out kits for Monday's shows. Lots of thread lengths to sort, fabric to cut, and kits to pack. So I decided to carry on with what I was doing before I sit down at the computer to post this, as I knew I would then be sat down a little too long, haha!

Day 316 : '73

 

Day 316 : '73

Today's button is inspired by some vintage buttons in my collection. It's quite close, but not the same - and certainly not in colours - the originals are black with a bit of colour. I suspect the originals are pre WWII, judging from the card they are on.

This one though, made me think of the 1970s. The colours? the circle? I don't know, but it makes me happy either way. I can see this on a cushion on a draylon sofa!

Hope you are all keeping well xx
