It all looks rather disjointed now but the next step are lots of blues and purples which will bring it all together. At the end will be some white sprays of flowers as accents.
The very last step is the spiders...
I started going through my old metal buttons looking for some that had floral images and found this one about the size of a quarter. When I was polishing it I noticed an engraving on the back.... extra superfine Scovills. So I looked on Google and found that if it says Scovills/ extra superfine it would date it around 1827-1840 and it was probably a ladies coat button. It is a two part button with a heavy shank.. It will definitely find a place on the bag.
It’s really taking shape! (I might have to try your cranberry triffle.)
ReplyDeleteLove that button! Curious to know something....you said you were polishing it. Any chance of you putting a note on one of your posts for the curious among us as to how/what you use to polish your buttons?
