As I think about the Miracle
of the Gulls motif for the baby cardi that I am still designing, I am concerned
that the connection between the crickets and the gulls will not be seen. I am
making the pattern so you can either knit the seagull motif or the cricket
motif. So in order to make the connection, I would like to have a seagull
button on the cricket sweater and a cricket button on the seagull sweater. What
a great excuse to shop on Etsy! But to my dismay, not many people make seagull
or cricket buttons.
So I decided to make my own.
I got images of old children’s illustrations and some fine art that has images
of crickets or gulls. I then took the images and printed them on fabric. I just
used the fabric printing paper found at most craft stores.
I think I want only one
button on the cardi instead of several. And I made the images smaller or larger
for different size buttons because I am not sure what size I will use yet. I then put the images in the appropriate size
circles in my page layout program. I cut out each circle and used a button tool
bought at my local fabric store.
Ta da! Seagull and Cricket
Buttons.
Now I need to decide which
size to use and if I really only want one button.
