The Button Box

For this piece I have chosen over sixty genuine vintage mother of pearl buttons from my collection and stitched them into place in-between tiny applique hearts cut from my own hand-dyed recycled cotton fabrics held in place with tiny stitches. There are also hand-worked lazy daisies in fine white silk. The buttons are an assortment of different styles and sizes, all beautiful I think, adding shine and texture to the piece which is constructed within a running-stitch background. I love these old buttons and this textural hand-stitched work displays them well. I have called the piece 'The Button Box'
 
There is also a smaller verson of this design for sale here priced at £50.00.
 
The frame is a lightly distressed whitened wood, measuring 10" (25cm) square and the embroidery will arrive with glass in place, corded ready to hang, with my studio stamp on the back. The double depth mount carries the title and is signed.
