I admit it. I really got carried away this time. I do love Rita Richmond's shuttles, and these beauties called out to me!
I'm enjoying tatting Ice Drops with Lizbeth Arctic Waters. I think the crackled glass gem adds to the frosty look!
Craftie sylvie asked about the bale, so I thought I'd share a couple of pictures showing what it looks like glued to the glass gem.
I glued bales to several glass gems before starting to tat, so I know they'll be sufficiently dried by the time I use them. I just slipped them into place according to the pattern.
The placement of the ribbons has to do with where I finished tatting. Although I'm pretty good at hiding my ends, I think the ribbon adds a nice touch. I'm hoping my Ice Drop pendants are a hit at our Christmas in the Village!
Hurray!!! I found the bales on amazon.fr (better bargain for me of course).
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your pendants will get unanimous praise :)
I'm so glad you found them!
DeleteI know they will be a big hit.
ReplyDeleteI hope so!
DeleteYour ice drops will a big hit either as pendants or snowflakes, or just ice drops
ReplyDeleteI hope you're right, Margaret!
DeleteI could see those shuttles calling you!! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the new Ice Drop pendants!!! :) I think they are perfectly wintery!!! :)
I think I may have a problem, Sue... but it's still cheaper than therapy!
DeleteYou are doing with those shuttles like I do with the Pop-A-Bobbins. Just cannot resist.
ReplyDeleteNice ones, though. Enjoy them.
I do have quite a few Pop-A-Bobbins, but I definitely have many more of Rita's!
