This is a doodad snowflake, the pattern is one of Diane's at Lace Lovin Librarian.
The doodad is from Fire Mountain Gems #H20-4335FX it is a small crystal in the center for added sparkle.

first one
This is the first of many, possibly 3 dozen, we will see.

I blended Lizbeth size 40 white with Kreinik Metallics Very fine Braid size #4 in silver. The 2 threads together are about a size 20.

Very pretty, and sparkly, I'm sure, in person! Adding the metallic thread worked out well! And doodads are so perfect for snowflakes! The thought of making 3 dozen would overwhelm me, but you're used to taking on big tasks!
ReplyDeleteit only took me about an hour, so not too bad. They will be a variety of patterns.
DeleteThat is just really pretty with the silver braid added...and the crystal center...beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I was hoping it would
DeleteThree dozen? That will keep you busy. Very pretty. I can imagine it twinkles in real life.
ReplyDeleteyes, Jane, it does
DeleteThat's what I call sparkle! I'll have to go back to Fire Mountain Gems. I don't remember seeing that doodad. There sure is a lot to choose from over there!
ReplyDeleteHow did you like working with the Kreinik? I think I'm getting ready to try metallic thread again.
I have no problems with Kreinik blending filaments, I have used quite a few of them. This is the first time I have used a braid, and it worked out well.
DeleteOh, Diane, and I have the same ornament hooks you got. I bought some right away when you posted, put them aside and have to locate them now.
DeleteI love those ornament hooks! I looked up your doodads and bookmarked them. They may become part of my next purchase. I think I'll try that Kreinik as well. Thanks for the inspiration!
DeleteHow pretty! It will really sparkle on a Christmas tree!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sharren
DeleteWow, now that is a fantastic snowflake! The sparkle of the thread combined with the design is stunning! I love it. I plan to steal your idea and make a bunch myself! Hope you won't mind too much, haha!
ReplyDeleteIt won't bother me in the least, because I stole the basic idea from Diane he he.
DeleteBeautiful snowflake!! :)
