The pattern for these can be found in my Etsy shop by clicking HERE. Also, a reminder that my Etsy sale is ending tomorrow, and my next sale will be sometime in early June, 2019. If you want to visit my shop, you can do so by clicking HERE.
My blocking board doesn't have lines for a six pointed motif, which made things a little more difficult. Next time, I'm going to print out an appropriate polar grid (using Inkscape) and place it in a plastic sleeve to use as a blocking template.
These snowflakes have been stiffened with Mod Podge Extreme Glitter. The sparkle is very pretty in person but doesn't show up on camera unless the photo is blurry:
It's a multicolored glitter, similar to the AB color used in beads. I will be stiffening all of this year's snowflakes with the glittery Mod Podge and see how they hold up over time.
Love it. Impressive as always.
ReplyDeleteFabulous sparkly snowflakes!!! :)
ReplyDeleteYour Josephine rings look like pearls !!! Lovely
ReplyDeleteSplendid, especially with sparkles.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder of the snow flakes what size thread do you think it would be if you tried regular thread?❄❄🎄❄❄
ReplyDeleteCarollyn, I’m using Lizbeth size 20 thread for these and they come out to a good size for an ornament. You could go down to size 40 as well (it would probably be around 2.8 to 3 inches tall with size 40 thread). The stiffener doesn’t add much bulk if blotted thoroughly, so my stiffened samples are about the same size as the regular thread. I do recommend blocking of some sort, even just pulling into place by hand, as the long arms of this snowflake can be slightly crooked fresh off the shuttles.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful snowflakes, love the design
