Rosalind Atkins - Smocking and Dorset Buttons
PINK BUTTON BOX
A specially commissioned hand made box with the lid featuring numerous Dorset buttons, including Dorset knobs, grindles, Singletons and birds' eyes.
SET OF DORSET BUTTONS
I was commissioned to make tiny white Dorset cross wheel buttons to be worn on the shirts of the male cast members of the recent BBC production of 'Poldark'.
Hard to spot, but historically accurate, the buttons can just be seen on the open shirt of 'Ross Poldark', portrayed by actor Aidan Turner.
BIRD'S EYE BUTTONS
Bird's Eye buttons worked using the same yarn as used for knitting this baby's cardigan, giving a soft and perfectly matching button finish.
