Very Large Tatted Snowman Suncatcher

Sunday afternoon and night we got snow!!!!

 I love the look of the bushy tree thing covered in 

snow.

 We have 2 pine trees on each side of our mobile 

home and the amaze me when the branches hold so 

much snow.

 To get the snow started I spent Sunday morning 

stringing my tatting into this wire snowman 

frame to create my first very large suncatcher. 

And just so everyone knows, this one is MINE!

 I got this wire frame snowman(which is actually 

a Christmas card holder), many years ago hoping 

to add tatting and make him a fabulous one of 

a kind giant suncatcher.

 I took these pictures today and you can 

see that most of the snow is gone, but 

they are saying this weekend there is 

a lot more on the way(up to a foot).

 I tatted this from the Exquisite Luncheon Set on pg. 30 

of the book Tatting Doilies & Edgings edited by Rita Weiss.

It's only the center and I added clear beads to 

to each ring, and then strung it to the wire 

frame with large clear beads for more sparkle.

 I plan on adding tatting to the scarf area,

 and to the cheeks, and tatting to the hat, 

but at least this much if finally done for 

this year.  It's as large as a whole 

regular size window(top or bottom 

section of the window).

This is just so you can see more of the 

snowman!!!  :)

Have a wonderful day and hopefully 

some tatting time too!!!!!  :)
