Hi Everyone!
Well the exhibition opening was just lovely - full gallery and a beautiful Autumn day - even the cows in the fields nearby looked as if they had brushed their coats for us!
Thankyou to everyone who came - I was just thrilled by all the surprise visits!
What I really wanted to tell you about are these magnificent buttons that arrived this week! They are so beautifully made by a lady in the Scottish Highlands. I can think of dozens of uses and I can't wait to put them into a project. Maybe I will knit a new cardy just so I can put these buttons on it! Or make a brooch or add them to a journal or stitch them to a felt wrap or .......
They are made of resin and are finished so well. A very professional service for a lovely product!

Hope everyone is finding time to play with buttons or paint or thread or fleece or yarn or whatever!
Lots of Love

Gorgeous buttons - miniature works of art.
ReplyDeleteThose buttons are full of joy and I am inspired to use the idea with my year 7 students as they explore the elements of colour and form. Did you use a lacquer on the paint surface? I decorated some simple wooden buttons for a cardigan with nail polish and tiny black beads but have not subjected them to washing yet...
ReplyDeleteLovely buttons. Good luck with the exhibition and the book.
