Tatted ice drops

 

Hi,

I have been doing some ice drops as I found I was short in supply,  so after Christmas I set about using up some thread on my shuttles,  

These are all from the pattern sixes and sevens by Diane, I used Lizbeth thread Cranberry bush, white and Christmas green 

I hope to get a few more done over the next few months.

Tatted Ice Drops

 Hi,

Something new in Tatting these are called Ice Drops,  The crazy was started by Diane,  and its taken on big time,  
The tatting is around glass nuggets,  the white one was my first and its not perfect, I had trouble getting some smaller glass nuggets as they are called in the UK,   |But as I learnt the pattern I managed to make more rings and enclose a bigger glass nugget.




So this is my bigger one this time I used  Lizbeth thread Springtime No 20,  the glass nugget is clear but is taking on the colour of the thread.   I tatted a chain to hang them both,  nothing fancy just a plain chain this time,   The little rings off the chain are 3-3-3-3, Hoping to make many more so watch this space as they say.



Hope you are not too snowed in,   we woke up to a covering of snow this morning but the sun did melt it,   hopefully thats the white stuff over and done with this winter.
Have a nice weekend
                                    Hugs
