"Real" Ice Drop earrings

A friend had seen my Ice Drop ornaments and 

asked if they could be earrings.  I told her that 

they were quite heavy, but I would see if I could 

make some another way.  She already has  several 

pair of the Ice Drop earrings I have made with the 

glass beads, but after finding these smaller Ice Drop

gems and smaller bugle beads I tried them, and she 

fell in love with them the moment she saw them-and 

they left my presence!

These are tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Blue Ice with size 2

iridescent bugle beads, tiny blue beads, and a clear 

small Ice Drop gem.

 Here's another view.

 Here is to show the size next to the Ice Drop ornament.

This pattern again is the Birthday Ice Drop.

Oh, these earrings went this weekend, but also 5 Ice 

Drop ornaments, a bracelet, a bookmark, a baby headband 

and a dangle.  Several of the Ice Drop ornaments are 

going to be for first Christmas ornaments.  :)

Hope you had a fabulous weekend!

May your week be blessed with tatting!!! :)
