Grateful for good friends ...

My GF Sue sent me a text.    Said she had a stack of

Piecework Magazines, back issues.    Did I want them .... and she noticed

a couple of articles on Buttons.

Article on Dorset Buttons, Article on Death's Head Buttons, Article on Crochet Buttons.

Thx Sue - - 

Also, found some tatting patterns for buttons,

Link here to Cariad Tatting , free tatting patterns and technique tutorials.

One pattern motif uses Daisy Picot -- which I just learned how to do ...

stay tuned. 

 

73: Triangle Wrap

 

I purchased this hand dyed fiber from a vendor several years ago.

I only have a small amount left - I did show it to a girlfriend who owns

a fabric dye business.  I wouldn't know where to begin to try HDT --

It reminds me of brown twine.   Hard on the hands.

Liked the colors & give it a try on button mould.

1.5" wooden button mould.

Hand Dyed Fiber/twine.
