Description

This brooch was created to showcase a collection of five different traditional styles of Dorset button. The base is a large (45mm diameter) Singleton button made using pure silk in a lemon yellow shade, which is adorned with a 18mm beaded Cross Wheel button worked in shades of yellow and light brown with tiny glass beads, a light brown coloured 15mm Yarell Cross Wheel button, a 15mm Dorset Knob in yellow and three small (10mm) simple Bird's Eye buttons in toning shades of yellow, light brown and tan cotton. The brooch is hand finished on the back and fastens with a metal brooch pin. It is supplied in a gauze bag together with a slip giving information about the different types of Dorset button involved in its construction.

I love making traditional Dorset buttons and wanted to produce something respecting the heritage of the craft but given a contemporary edge and immensely wearable too.

All 130 reviews

  • Many thanks.This arrived promptly. Definitely worth the money. The detailed instructions are better than I have seen, and there's plenty of different traditional designs to try. If you were going for upgrades, I would suggest more colour photos, to make it easier to see the detail and or instructions for non-traditional effects
