I guess I'll share my #buttons for #mandalamonday since the hyperfocus gods have decided this is the next thing for me to uncontrollably obsess over.

I did this a very long time ago, because I had the idea to do the Sea Tractor's wheels as #DorsetButtons. The background is stitched over paint. #ArtAdventCalendar #HandEmbroidery #mixedmedia
We visited my local yarn store today and found these unique books on making your own buttons by Gina Barrett. I have made Dorset buttons in a workshop through the Niagara Handweavers and Spinners but Zwirnknopf buttons are new to me. The illustrations are so beautiful. Making buttons could be a dying art. #twistedhanks #NancysFibreArtShop #DorsetButtons #ZwirnknopfButtons #ButtonMaking #GinaBarrett #fibreArts #fiberArts @fiberrts
