#11 & #12A in Land of Laces ’ 25 Snowflake Project
A
week has passed since I last worked on the computer. I have posted 2
snowflake projects on facebook just so I don’t miss out since I only have 1 ‘free’
Sunday left ;-D Lots of patterns to write out…
I
am taking this opportunity to post at least one pattern here – a 2D bell. When
the 3D version is reworked and written out, I’ll combine both into a pdf.
The MatheMagical pattern has turned out to be quite versatile indeed – stars, tree,
bells (and a possible angel, and later a coaster/doily, in future!!!).
I first made a bell in silver
metallic, without changing the original tree count (from which it is directly derived). Turned out to be a bit
tubular. Then I took courage and tweaked the chain count and am so much happier
with this version in gold! My tatting excitement has returned as well, lol.

Snowflake
Sparkle
And
this is my 11th snowflake where I’ve cheated a bit (I didn’t
actually tat a new model this time, but will do so this week)….
If you
remember, it is a 2015 pattern which I improved in 2017 but the updated pattern
still hasn’t been shared. This image is from 2017 and I want to tat a new model
in metallic thread before I feel confident of sharing the revised pattern.
Keep the tinkling sparkle in your smile :-)))
Both designs are innovative and exciting.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jane 😍
DeleteThank you. I especially love the bell. Smaller designs are always needed..!
ReplyDeleteAnd it tats up real quick, obviously 😃. Hope you enjoy it, Barbara 💖
DeleteI like that snowflake!! I will have to find an excuse to makes it, improved pattern or not; )
ReplyDeleteEmily, you know me so well --- who knows how long the improved pattern might take to upload ...Another 2 years?! 😄😄😄😄
DeleteVery nice bells!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sue 💗
DeleteOoh! I love that bell! I have so many adorable charms and beads that would work well for the clapper. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your bell clappers, Diane :-D I ran out of colours in teardrop beads.
