Ice Queen Revisited

Snowflakes are definitely on my mind now!  Nearly mid-November, I can hardly believe it.  I decided to tat Ice Queen again.  I had not made it since completing the work for the pattern last year.  I thought it curled a bit more than I remembered before I pressed it and wondered whether it would benefit from making the centre just a bit larger to give the rest of the design a bit more space to "breathe".

Here is tonight's version:


Also there's not enough contrast between the bugle beads
and the thread, I shall have to re-tat this.
Not satisfactory.


Best wishes,
Frivole

  1. I think this looks great as it is - subtle and icy. I don't think it needs more contrast... Also, it'll look really nice hanging and catching the light.

  5. Looking lovely to me, it looks so lacey on the outside and the beads will give it shine.

  6. Je le trouve très joli comme ça. Les couleurs de fil et les perles rappellent bien le froid et la glace.

  10. Well, thank you all for such positive feedback! Sometimes it takes different eyes to point out what one couldn't see!
