We visited my local yarn store today and found these unique books on making your own buttons by Gina Barrett. I have made Dorset buttons in a workshop through the Niagara Handweavers and Spinners but Zwirnknopf buttons are new to me. The illustrations are so beautiful. Making buttons could be a dying art. #twistedhanks #NancysFibreArtShop #DorsetButtons #ZwirnknopfButtons #ButtonMaking #GinaBarrett #fibreArts #fiberArts @fiberrts
