snowflake me roundup 2

 Continuing our journey from part 1 (https://tipsaroundthehome.blogspot.com/2023/12/snowflake-me-roundup-1.html) where we showcased the works of 12 participants along with links to the #SnowflakeMeEndrucks Nov2023 game, here are more ....

13. Margaret Davies - has been a regular participant despite life getting in the way frequently, and we truly appreciate all her work! You can read her post here - https://margaretsdesignercards.blogspot.com/2023/12/endrucks-projects-october-and-november.html

14. Maria Renee C de Andretta - was happy to have accomplished her 'challenge'.

15. Mariola Siwek - was also full of joy with her "antique blue snowflake". She used thread Kaja/15 from Ariadna company.

16. Martina Reinhold - promised this was her "first flock and many more to come"! We'll be waiting.

17. Meenakshi (Muskaan) Jain - These are two of my completed flakes. I had started the designprocess back in March (https://tipsaroundthehome.blogspot.com/2023/03/antics.html) as an offshoot idea from the Feb game. 

This is actually a pale lavender Olympus size 40 (more clearly visible here - https://tipsaroundthehome.blogspot.com/2023/11/flaky-antics.html) but the background changed it to almost white.

This one is in Lizbeth size 20. Interestingly both threads are the same size despite the labels.

18. Ninetta Caruso - graciously worked the flake for a stepwise pictorial and also uploaded a video for split chain! Details shared here - https://tipsaroundthehome.blogspot.com/2023/11/game-antics.html 

19. Pam Bray - also learned a few techniques through this flake and was satisfied with her first trial.

20. Paola Bevilacqua - tatted her's in silver metallic and ....

... then added blue & white beads and suspended it within a wreath...

Spectacular!

21. Paola Emilia Rotuletti - is arguably the Fastest Shuttler in our group, usually belting out multiple versions in several of our games! She won the contest in December last year, too.

Her first which she wasn't satisfied with, 

and then went on to make FIVE more, each in a different shade! The top right is worked in 2 colours.

22. Pina Barone - "Inspiring reason to learn new execution techniques."

23. Riva Nudelman - a golden beauty .... 

"For H I tried ring on ring technique instead of SCMR. It worked for me better."

We are spoiled for choices! Tatting techniques offer a wide range of options and we can choose to apply whichever we prefer without altering the pattern in any way.

24. Silvana Buonvino - created a lovely Christmassy effect with the addition of red berry-like crystal beads!

25. Sophie Ecru - "Its such a joy and fun to make these for my preparation of the coming Xmas! Absolutely recommend tatting lovers to make one. ...... Threads: @gaeul_toto ETTE HDT#60&#30, @alloyoung Lizbeth HDT#40"

Such a beautiful display!!!

Honestly, like I said in my previous post, it is so difficult to choose only one as the lead pic for each post! Making a collage doesn't help, with the images miniaturized. 

And as I post this, Melanie Cervi has already started her flake, and Jane McLellan has it in her to-tat-again list! (http://picotsnkeys.blogspot.com/2023/12/another-interruption.html). I will update accordingly - in fact there is a lineup of late arrivals for various other games and these will all be posted together in a roundup of roundups ;-D

For the present, though we have 25 'known' participants and 42 models/versions!

As always, Ninetta joins me in thanking each of our participants, not just for tatting and showing at least one snowflake, but in many cases for learning something new so that they could work the motif!  

Many many thanks to each and every participant for all the wonderful work!
