Apart from nearly being blown off my feet when I was out shopping, no damage so at least we got through the storm ok. Hope you did too.

Beautiful snowflake Ginny♥
ReplyDeleteI'm finally here Margaret, so sorry...again...
ReplyDeleteI love this you clever woman, it's just so pretty, I understand the 'floppy' problem, but it looks gorgeous.xx
I made that one last year, and it did require a double dose of stiffer. It is very cute though, and I think I felt the same way, I wonder if done in size 80 would make it any better :)
ReplyDeleteI don't think any size of thread would make it any better. I thought I might try making a center for it, won't be this year.

It does look too open in the middle, what a shame. I remember one Anna Burda had needle lace in the middle of tatted motifs, perhaps you could run threads across the middle with a needle?
ReplyDeleteAnother gorgeous snowflake design Margaret!!

I would suggest stiffening it with the white glue, then hang a charm in the middle, like a crystal snowflake or a metallic doodad, or an angel charm, or even a small tatte motif. I often make snowflakes and suncatchers like that.
ReplyDeleteAll your snowflake are so beautiful!! :)
ReplyDeleteI do hate it when the most lovely designs are too open to hold themselves together! This one is beautiful to the eye even though it does flop.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the center is too open, but it is still very pretty! Maybe it could be used as a drape over a ball. It would also look nice stitched onto a blouse.
