You win Diane!... I surrender!

Diane has been producing an impressive collection of these pretty, colourful ice drops.  I'm a bit late joining in the fun but I finally HAD TO MAKE ONE!!

I didn't have anything suitable as a "gem" for the centre... all I was able to find that was large enough was a pale blue button.  So I made it into a little lucky charm for my son to attach to his backpack as he was leaving on expedition this morning.  Didn't like the buttonholes so I added a smile to turn them into eyes for a happy face (if a little crooked!).



... but see what just arrived in the post...



I might just be making a few more!




What a trend you've started there Diane!
They're rather appealing.
Thank you!


Best wishes,
Frivole

  2. Haha! I love that little smile! I'm guessing you'll soon get bored with the basic pattern and come up with some fabulous adaptations. I love your cabochon assortment!
