Some Dorset buttons I've been learning to make when I get tired of my current project. They sure are awkward to make. People used to do this for a living!

Comment by Catherine Hearn on November 1, 2012 at 8:08 Ann, these are beautiful. You mentioned a book about them. Can you give me the name of the book please as I am very interested. I have made a few but nothing as smallor as lovely as yours.

Comment by Beth Mill on October 28, 2012 at 10:15 I love these kind of buttons! I tried one years back and haven't made one since!! They are very tricky.
Comment by Elaine Wilding on October 24, 2012 at 21:14 I really love this idea for buttons as I use buttons to decorate with. I am always looking for different ways to embellish things and these are over the top neat. Thanks for sharing. Hugs Elaine

Comment by Ann Johnson on October 24, 2012 at 14:40 I don't think so. I'm no expert and only make them for fun. It was the history of them that got me interested in the first place. I don't just love needlework, I love the history of it, too.
