Manuela's Dorset Buttons in Her Spare Time

Mannie is constantly working on her fabric art pieces -even while watching TV.  She was working on coil baskets and now is making Dorset buttons -while watching TV.   She can do more than one task  -I can't.

She sits and twists threads and threads with beads around a little plastic ring -sometimes 3/4 of an inch across.  Twist and set; twist and set; twist and set...  (I couldn't do it.)  Later she will add them as embellishments to her fabric art pieces.

Here Mannie has made them stand out embellishments in a large coil basket.
