A set of 3 hand embroidered buttons for bee lovers! Bees are one of my animal guides, and so my first button creations are dedicated to them.

• The first button shows five very busy bees, embroidered with tiny bullion stitches wrapped with black floss and organza wings.
• The second button is the flight of the bee through the air, embroidered with runnning stitches.
• The third button is the bees home, a skep, embroidered with couched stitches.

All of the buttons are on linen and can easily be sewn onto anything you like. Great for decorative use or as working buttons. The buttons are 1″ in diameter — a little bigger than a quarter.

I just realized that they were still damp from a final cleaning when I took the pictures. I’ll have to take new ones with out the damp spots!
