So here is another: it is Jon's Featherline Snowflake. Another pattern I had printed ages ago but not tried yet. I added some gold beads as I do like a bit of sparkle for tree decorations.
Not a very quick tat but mostly due to being slowed down
with adding beads.
These were all added as I went. No beads strung onto the thread beforehand.
Photo with flash above, without flash below. Again trying hard to catch
the sparkliness of the beads, always difficult!
I'm pleased with this. Apart from a slightly mis-shapen center because I didn't do a very good job of sewing in ends (a job I very much dislike as many of you know!). So the next time I tat this, I will use split rings and tat it all in one go. The only problem would be adding the bead between the two split rings... I shall have to give that some thought.

| I think it's nice to see things from a distance sometimes. It makes you more aware of the negative spaces - don't you think? See how pretty the negative spaces are in this snowflake? Viewed from here, and because of the beads, it even looks as if the center is not attached and is just floating there... |
Thank you very much Jon for the lovely pattern.
Best wishes,
