It's already October... the weather is turning colder and it's making me think of one of my favourite things ever: snowflakes! For a few years now, I have created new designs inspired by Wilson Bentley's photographs of real snowflakes (after being gifted his book by a tatting friend) and I have done so again this year.
Below is the photograph that inspired this design.
Of course it's not exactly the same but I hope you can see some similarities. Real snowflakes have straight lignes and sharp angles which are difficult to reproduce with tatting... but I enjoy a challenge! In this case I used lock chains for straight lines as well as my 1SSCMR technique for sharp points.
Below are some of the several samples which I discarded
though there are features in each that appeal to me
and which I may use in future designs.
And the name?
I decided to call it
Pattern coming up very soon!
Best wishes,
Frivole
