After reading my posts, Elisabeth Dobler took up the challenge and quickly sent me her version of the DAL Celtic Snowflake, designing a third round and also tweaking the first motif to incorporate Celtic knot picots! And she graciously shared the pattern, too, becoming our 21st participant. It took me some time to diagram it, though. But here it is ....
I realise only now while inking and uploading that we forgot to mention the beads in the center. It looks like she used two beads on each picot and made a swirl join at the end.There are Maltese rings at the tips and the thinner metallic thread picots fill the ring.
Elisabeth has a way with picots! If you are on Facebook or Instagram, you should look up her work and how she elegantly transforms the models. Her impeccable tatting is so inspiring, too. She frequently sends me pics of her work and I will soon share a few here.
Before I forget, you can find the pattern and all details in this Google Docs -https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pVqM6S5Ng49xk6erSsDyRm3y7SdV2tCIUOCgltze4lM/view

And I also know of two other tatters who tatted the snowflakes -
Marja chose Lella Loops' version - https://solmujenlumoissa.blogspot.com/2024/11/lumihiutaleita.html
and Padma M chose to tat Mariola Siwek's version which she shared in her FB account -
Many thanks to all for your participation! Being inspired and inspiring others is an unending cycle of creativity!

DeleteWow, stunning. The top one is so elegant.
ReplyDeleteJane, her work is excellent. Recently she's been posting a model daily in FB - check them out. 💗
DeleteBeautiful snowflake, the list of snowflake is growing, and thank you for including my effort, I did enjoy designing the snowflake from your pattern, and thank you for all the hard work you have done over the last few years, the Enducks project must take up so much of your time, plus everything else.
ReplyDeleteI truly appreciate your willing participation and contribution, Margaret, through the years 😍 Yes, Endrucks and the book editing are two Huge time-consuming ongoing projects, yet very satisfying. Want to do so much more if life would only allow it, LOL.
