Dorset Buttons

I was not able to attend the September class

(after Lafayette Lacemaker's  meeting)

when Dorset Buttons were instructed.

I have the rings + some fibers.

I am grateful Gina has a wonderful post on

Dorset Buttons.

Just look at this link --- look what  has been done:

British Button Society Photographs

Here are some Instructions

if you want to try making your own.

On-Line Tatting Groups

I have enjoyed logging in

to both of the weekly

On Line Tatting Group

Recently, class participants have been tatting motifs

by Emmy Liebert. 

What I enjoy is logging in to class &

find a modern diagram + a class participant

photo of the tatted motif.  Plus,

when I hit a snag, there are plenty

on-line to lend a hand ; )

The patterns in the book need

translation - and with the on-line group

gathering together, we are all benefiting

from collective expertise!

If interested, follow along by the

2011 Class Index

and consider logging in to the weekly group!

Digital Lace Collection

Lace, Lace, Lace!

Creative space on-line ....

Button Floozies is one of

my daily blog stops.

This area is creative and visuals inspire!

The use of buttons (+ occasional lace)

are so much fun ...

never mind another excuse for

me to get my buttons out!

And, did you scroll down 

to see the post with

Tiny Books,

lovely lace added?
