Crystal Ice Ice Drop and Snowflake

I wanted a snowflake Ice Drop and decided to just 
try and tat one.
I came up with this and I call it the Crystal Ice 
Ice Drop.
It's tatted in size 40 Libeth Bright Blue Lt. 

And then I wanted to see it just as a snowflake.

Have a wonderful tatting filled day!!! :)
