Some tatting, some thinking.....

Another Birthday Motif Ice Drop just different beads.

 Here are all three side by side with the slight differences.

 About 6 years ago I tatted treble clefs for some ladies 

I know who play guitar in ministry.  Well, a friend of 

those ladies(whom I know) asked me recently if I would 

tat a treble clef for her.  Since she is closer to me than 

the others I thought I would try to make hers more 

special.  I have a treble clef and two music notes so 

far.  :)  Pattern for the treble clef here:

All tatted in size 10 Royale thread.

 Now as for the thinking......I got into my bag of blues 

Ice Drop gems which contain blues, frosted and clear 

just to realize that clear are much, much smaller than the 

first two.  So....I thought I could make Ice Drop earrings

 with these and they would be real Ice Drop earrings, but 

they are smaller than the glass beads I use for my Ice 

Drop earrings, so.....I am going to try a different stitch 

count for my size 40 Ice Drop earrings, or go to size 80 

and see if it will work.  ;)

So....there is part of my very gray day!!!

Happy tatting and have a wonderful day 

wherever you are!!!! :)
