 Seems I've been using up a lot of DMC perle coton fibers - sizes 12, 8, 5; and Lizbeth size 20.   For the buttons I've been creating - I'm enjoying using up some of my odd bits of thread stash!     Such a bonus to select my favourite colors.

Button 48: Double Zwirnknopf, four colors

[extra] Button in progress.

2 7/8" Wooden Ring.

Elisa 10 #8197, Ricky Tims Razzle Dazzle #253 & #258, Royale 10 0428.

I was trying the Elisa Size 10.

For this wooden ring (2 7/8"), I used #8155, #8170, #8138, #8148.

I like the fiber - so wished the lime color was a bit darker/greener.
