I attended a short workshop on Saturday at Bower Hinton Workshops to make traditional Dorset buttons. We started with the basic Blandford wheel and then were shown some variations. I made a few over the weekend and when I was partway to finishing the brown one I thought it looked a bit like a pollarded willow tree so took a picture before I made it into the tree with blossom which will have a pin sewn to the back to be worn as a brooch.
