Ice Drops

Hi,

Its a cold morning here,  no snow yet but there is snow on the hills in Scotland,   it can stay there.   I thought you might like to see my latest ice drops,   above is Barbara's Snowflake Ice drop  by Barbara Murdock which I use a bungle beads instead of a round bead,  I made the chains a little longer for the longer bead.

This is Cosmic Ice drop by Nicola Bowersox I really do like this pattern,   I used purple beads and because I did not have the right colour gem I found I had the exact colour in a nail varnish so I painted the back of a clear gem.  Works well and matched perfectly.
Both have a spiral chain to hang them on.

Both ice drops were tatted in Lizbeth thread no 20

Hope you are having a nice weekend

Tatted Ice drop snowflake and Ice drops

 Hi,
Its a bank holiday in the UK this weekend,  and as usual the weather is not playing ball with storms although the sun has been shinning on and off,  just about right after a beautiful week hot week.
Today I have some Ice drops for you  above it a snowflake ice drop I tatted this is Sea Island Citrus and white with a pale blue gem in the middle,  I was using up the thread on the shuttles from the mat I finished.  The pattern is January reflections by Lenore English.   I had to do an extra ring because my gem is slightly bigger but I don't think it makes any difference to the over all snowflake.   The back of the gem is the usual ice drop pattern and then I work the snowflake pattern which fitted in perfectly.

This Ice drop is tatted in Green Coral sea thread, with a green gem, again I had to do an extra ring to fit the gem,  The pattern is Spring Garden  Ice Drop By Diane link to her blog.  









This Ice drop I found I had not posted so here it is,  It was tatted in Carousel thread with a clear gem and very pale green beads,  the pattern is called Root Beer Fudge Ice drop again by Diane.


All the above were tatted in Lizbeth thread no 20.


Hope you are having a lovely weekend
