Yes. I think I'm stopping here for this one. I'm going to call it "Alba" which comes from the latin "Albus" and means white.
It unusually has no decorative picots but I think this brings it closer in look and shape to the original image of the real snowflake which inspired the design (see below). It also just makes a change!

For now I have put the other option I was working on to the side, firstly because I felt the first one was more interesting/original and - and this is the big one - I couldn't find a way to make it in one pass. I also wasn't happy with the shape of the tips yet so it needed more work altogether.

Discarded Option |
Below I'm showing a small photo of Alba and the snowflake photo side by side
because I think when viewed small, or from a distance, or with squinting your eyes,
you better see the similarities or differences in shape.
So it's not as close as some of my other designs
but I still feel the snowflakes, real and lace, share some resemblance.
I hope you think so too?
Regardless, the snowflake photo provided me with inspiration
and a good starting point for this new design.
I hope you like it!
Now on to writing the pattern! And if anyone reading this likes the look of this one and fancies trying it for me, I always appreciate assistance in this department. I plan on getting the pattern done during the course of this week. This pattern makes use of my 1SSCMR to make the points on the chains, a technique for which I have made a video which can be viewed
here should you be interested. It also uses one split ring for moving from round 1 to round 2.
Best wishes,
Frivole
