buttoned up

this is the last button workshop before I prepare to go to Japan – I think!

preparing individual supply bags, not  my favorite part.

I’ve invented a form of button mould made with available supplies

 

 

 

 

 

this is a wrapped braid button made with soutache braid

 

 

 

 

 

it needs to be worked over a smaller mould, this is the only braid I could find in the city 

and I seem to have bought all of certain sizes of plastic rings.

Victorian Flag

woven over a silk covered mould, the yarn is woven on a thread “warp” and not stitched into the cloth.

 

 

 

 

last but not least, a ring braid button

 

and that’s it folks. I’m all buttoned up.
