Karl scanned this one in for me this morning, as opposed to my snapshots of the other two. I think the difference is amazing. It looks pretty on white too, but DH thought the black looked best.
I have really been stretching this wonderful thread. On this snowflake, I used DMC Cebelia size 20 in yellow as the core thread for the rose medallion. I wish I had thought of that for the first two. As it is all chains, it really doesn't matter and just uses up the hand dyed thread. (Sorry Marilee) LOL I used DMC in pink to tat the outer round. Tatting it this way left me with eight ends to hide, but I think it was worth it. It only took a little while to hide the ends.
If anyone gets tired of seeing tatted snowflakes, just let me know, (or don't look!)

I'm looking! Ha.. ha... I'll never get tired of your snowflakes.
You just keep on tatting away! I for one love every minute of your posts!
And oh my the black background really does make this one "pop"!
How could anyone ever get tired of your snowflakes? They look fabulous! Keep on tatting, please!
Thanks ladies! No shame in soliciting a bit of praise and support on occasion, huh? LOL
I love my snowflakes and I love this thread. I have three 50 yard skeins left to decide how to use. I am such a miser with this. Believe it or not, I used 40 yards of thread on these three snowflakes!
Tired of seeing your snowflakes? No WAY. Love all the colours.
