Zwirnknopt Ovals ---

 

 

DMC Coton Perle, #5,  Col. 799, 210, 504.

Daiso Lace Yarn #20, Col. 31

3" oval wooden shape.

 Karen Smock's Zwirnknopt Easter Egg class thru the Lace Museum Virtual Education.   Nice wood pieces from her button store - Karen's Buttons Supplies.  

I didn't attach the bunny - or finish the back (yet).   Once I finish the 2nd oval piece, I'll figure out the embellishing and tidy the back.

Starting the bonus pattern - gift from Karen - variation of the original pattern.

 So far, DMC pc #5, Col. 504 and Aunt Lydia's size 10 Metallic, Col. White/Pearl   Has fewer spokes.   We will see how it turns out.

For the 1st one -- beeswax and clips a must have ....

 

Zwirnknopf Easter Egg

 Pulling out the class kit & sorting thru colors of perle coton.   I picked up a couple embellishments at our local craft store - flowers, rabbits, which I may add once oval is completed.  My girlfriend's husband makes beeswax pieces and I was gifted a few of them last week.

mini cuts/grooves that are awesome!

I am delighted to have a few extra button pieces to try variety of colors/fibers.  The pattern shows a completed button created with Olympus brand fiber.

Valentine Heart Buttons

 Large enough to hang on the window.   Heart shape was a bracelet covered with yarn.   Fun to use the fibers, ribbon, roses using dorset button techniques.
