It’s Tatting Tea Tuesday again. Today I’m working on snowflakes.
All of these snowflakes are my patterns, the two smallest ones are from a design made last week.
All of these are made with DMC Cordonnet Special white in size 30. I’m planning on doing a few in colors as well, but I’m doing the ones I know people expect first – you know, white. But they do look good in white. I found some bangle bracelets in gold and in silver. I thought I’d try putting some tatting in a few. I’m not much on working with beads but I might even try a few with beads – maybe. I’m sure they would really be eye-catching, I’m just a little lazy. You’ll see them if I do any.
Now, back to the white thread and more snowflakes.
A blizzard of such stunning beauty, I want to catch one on my tongue. Your holiday cards will be fabulous.
What an inviting cuppa too. *dashing.off.to.put.the.kettle.on*
Thanks for joining in Tatting Tea Tuesday!
They look smashing in white! I often forget how beautiful white thread can be – especially for these patterns. Lovely work! : ) Fox
I love your snowflakes – do you starch them at all? Maybe I should be working on those rather than doilies! Thanks for the encouragement 🙂
Snowflakes in the bracelets – I would hang them in my windows!
I'm glad you like my 'blizzard' Isdihara. I'm hoping it will keep snowing for awhile!
No, Cindy, I don't usually starch them. They're not really that big so usually keep their shape without starch. I was thinking of hanging the bracelets in the window, too!
Thanks Fox!
I love the snowflakes. They are beautiful. You should make a tatting book with all the motifs and snowflakes you create, you are so talented. I love your blog.
Thank you so much Elizabeth! I really appreciate that! But something I'm not very good at – yet – is getting the patterns down and easy to read and making sure they are right. One day I would like to give a book a try. I'm happy you like my blog.
