5th Snowflake in Tropicana Series

 


This is Jon's "Radiant" snowflake from her book, "Snowflakes Collection." I really like it in Lady Shuttle Maker's Tropicana hand dyed thread. I had not tatted this one before. I think because of the long picots. It was very simple, however. I just used my picot gauge and made them the size Jon suggested.

I am thinking I will need a revolving tree stand for my Rainbow Christmas Tree this year!

So pretty. Yes, you definitely need a revolving stand. I have one and love it. I purchased mine at Dillard's several years ago at the "day after Christmas sale".

Your snowflake is so pretty in Sherry's colours. Good idea with the revolving stand. I hope it can hold the weight of all the pretty snowflakes that you have been making. I like your new blog colours. Why am I not surprised with the design, LOL!

Thank you Jon. Your designs are so gratifying to tat. The thread IS lovely too. Oh I do hope one tree and stand will hold all the weight. Snowflakes are very light, you know! So the new blog design doesn't surprise you, huh? LOL
