I was called in as a last minute sub today. Luckily, I had my tatting bag packed and ready for Ice Drops. I really only had time to tat one during the school day. The other two were tatted once I got home.
The gold colored glass gems I used really picked up the purple thread, giving them a rosy look rather than gold.
Luckily, I found my matte gold glass gems when I got home. I wish you could see all of them in person. They're really much prettier than the pictures.
My ball of Boysenberry Dk is getting smaller, but I still have quite a bit left. I guess I'll have to explore more color combinations!
That boysenberry is very nice color they look great.🌺
ReplyDeleteDaughter Carol has always been the purple lover in our family, but I find that the more I use shades of purple, the more I like it. I'm drawn more to the deeper shades.
DeleteI like the way you’re changing the colour of the gems and keeping the thread constant. So many possibilities!
ReplyDeleteLuckily, I've collected plenty of glass gems!
DeleteIt just struck me whether you've ever tried 2 colours in the same ice drop? That could cover 3 Mardi gras colours in the same ice drop, and would make a nice variation?
ReplyDeleteYes, I have, and I love the look. Right now I'm too lazy to go looking for another thread color. It's all the way in the sun room! ;-)
DeleteWonderful Ice Drops!!! :)
