Oh no! It's already November and I'm only just getting around to thinking about and working on a new snowflake for 2024! I had my daughter flick through the pages of my favourite book of snowflake photographs and make a pre-selection for me and from those I decided to work on the one below.
This is where I'm at so far. It's not
that close to the original but it gave me a good starting point. Let's say that my snowflake this year is "loosely" (rather than closely) inspired by a real snowflake. I've said before how it can be difficult to closely mimic a snowflake with tatting as real snowflakes are all straight lines and angles whereas tatting is all curves! I'm still testing things and working on samples. I'm particularly frustrated because at the moment I can't seem to find a way of making this design in one pass! I'll keep trying!
In the meantime, any feedback welcome!
Best wishes,
Frivole
