Scarf and Brooches

theodoracleave.com

 This divine scarf was made for me from some muslin fabric I did adore but would never use...until Jan said she would make scarves..& she did.

 Lovely thin ones which I will wear often...because I love them to bits, they are soft, sweet fabric design & right size for me.....

I decided to toss the scarves & then pop a brooch on them to take a picture for Instagram... how well they look I decided to take some more pics...

I was telling Jan of how I used buckles to rein in some overflow from shirts

 and at times to make it look more stylish that was a tip from another some years ago now...

And what an excuse to collect plastic or diamond buckles....

Mostly Red Flower Buttons

The flowers coming back into stock has inspired me to paint reds and also pastels as well as brilliants.... I love them all

My little daisies with that on wonky petal as I had found in my garden one day & also would you believe I cannot draw the last petal "perfect"  I know because I tried a while ago …. like a fingerprint 

The Hollyhocks this time I ordered the mini size in error so they maybe  a fun special price..perhaps !

That strawberry cake teams well with 3 mini strawberry buttons on a hoop perhaps.  The cake is very detailed but simple the strawberries on top take some concentration to paint !

The 2 styles of trees in a topiary sort theme have come back after a nice spell. 

I removed these when everyone else was making topiary tree buttons....was a great flurry of that style of garden at the time.

More Flower Buttons and .....
