Button 35: Middle Franconian Almond Button (with edge)

An almond shape edge - for sure.

Unique!

Button mould 1.5".

Edge added was

DMC Coton Perle size 5.

Colors 210 and 208.

The button had #827 (blue) and 445 (yellow)

DMC size 5 -- and edge added.

 

Start on Button 35

This is a Middle Franconian Almond Button (start).

This is another 1.5" button mould.

I've used DMC Coton Perle, Size 5.

Colors (so far) 827 & 445.

Next - the edge which will be the shape of an almond.

Stay tuned.   

 

Repeat of Button 33 -- a do over.

Square button (design) w/smooth rounds

tied with weaving.

Gave this button pattern another try.

I struggled with the (previous post) button created with traditional fiber colors

 - thought I'd better try it again, to make it look better.

Added more wraps for better button mould coverage and seemed to 

have straighter 'green' stripes.

All these button patterns are new-to-me

and I'm interested in learning how they are made,

interesting in remembering how to make them,

and enjoy selecting fibers from my stash.

This was made on 1.5" button mould.

Anchor pearl cotton perle size 5.

Colors 858, 300, 893. 

 

Button #33: Square (design) Button

This button, is a square (design) w/smooth

rounds tied w/weaving.

Did I say challenging?   No?   It was a challenge.

For me - Square on round mould, a challenge.

I used 1.5" button mould.

DMC Coton Perle #5.

Colors 3347, 208, 498 

Button #36 w/edge added ....

 

  Added a light purple edge.

I think it looks better ...

(DMC #5 Coton Perle, color 210).

Button 27 -- w/edge added

Yes, like it better.

Lavinia, the purple edge was a good suggestion.

Sometime, I am just too close - knew it needed "something" .

(edge in DMC #5 Coton Perle, color 552)

I may add edges to a couple other buttons -- it does make the colors nicer looking.

 

Button 36

This one seems more cheerful and colourful than the last one ...

I used 1.5" button mould.

DMC Coton Perle #5.

Colors 602, 743, 210.

May need an edge of button hold stitches in the light purple.

Maybe.

 

Button 27

Took out some color 208 -- added some color 504 & 552.   Still on the fence about it.

Maybe it just needs an edging of button hold stitches.

I used 1.5" button mould.
