The snowflake is something I made earlier, when I was rewriting one of my Etsy patterns. It's made in Liz Metallic Silver. After that, I tatted the heart in Raspberry Pink, and the bookmark in Sand Dollar:
The Raspberry Pink color is pretty intense, though I don't think that shows up well in the photos. Here's a size comparison of three hearts. The top heart is tatted in Lizbeth 40, the middle heart is tatted in Lizbeth 20, and the bottom heart is tatted in Liz Metallic:
Here's the metallic bookmark photographed next to another bookmark made in Lizbeth 20 Pink Parade:
The tassel threads in the metallic tend to separate, but so far the tassel knot is holding up fine:
I do like the stiffness of the metallic thread, especially for snowflakes. I'm thinking of using it to make snowflakes for holiday cards this year. I will have to limit my tatting time with the metallics though, as they are much rougher to work with than cotton.

Everything is lovely, and isn't funny how when taking pictures, that when you don't want a shine to show, it is a real struggle and then when you try it wont do it! that is a great idea to use the stiff metallic for ornaments!
Thank you for showing the comparison of threads. It's very helpful! I hadn't thought of using the metallic thread for bookmarks.
Tatting perfection as always :-)
There’s a lot of buzz about the metallic thread, it’s good to see it in use.
Thank you for the size comparison. I suspected the metallic would tat up larger. The stiffer threads seem to, even if you try to close your rings tightly.
Prześliczne ta zakładki, pozdrawiam
