  • Buttons …. handmade

    IMG_2363It feels good to be 'rambling' in the studio again.

    While looking for two suitable buttons as 'eyes' for a cat,  I came across these from past sprees of  closure experimentation.

    I particularly was glad to revisit the set of four, square 'scented' buttons:  knit from corner to corner in a yin/yang format (reversing from knit to purl at half way point) then sewn onto a backing of leather with some crushed leaves between and a piece of branch from the  lovely scented Australian bushmint plant attached to the centre , they did not suit what I need now.

    So will see how a simple round of crochet works:  need to find a fine amber  yarn …..  cat's eyes colour.
