A Pop Top Drop

It's Diane's Silver Crowns Ice Drop pattern from 

Ice Drop Addicts on Facebook.

A picture to show how it started.

 Tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Salmon Med. with tiny 

iridescent beads.  I love how it came out!!!

 The doily and the Pop Top Drop both bring lots 

of color here!!!  For the last several weeks the snow

had been melting and everything was brown, but 

this morning everything is white and since my 

Christmas tree is put away I really needed some 

color!!!!  :)  Yay tatting!!!

Have a wonderful day with tatting!!! :)

Almost a true Ice Drop

I love to see through things especially with tatting!!! :)

 This one has the "gem" I was trying to work with 

earlier.

 I had to drastically change stitch count and ended up 

with the back rings 8-8-8-8 chains 10-10, the front 

rings are 10-10-10, and the chains are 14.  And, if 

you didn't notice, there are only 5 rings and chains.

And here it is so you can see the Lizbeth Peacock 

Blues better.  Oh, and remember, I used size 40(my 

preferred size).

Have a happy tatting day!!!  :)

Needing a change

Needing to tat something different and having some 

gems that I could make into Ice Drops, I decided to 

try, but I used size 40 thread and the tatting was too 

tight for the gem.

Below is the comparison.  I have had these blue gems 

for several years in a fish type bowl my daughter had 

received for a candle and she gave it to me. so I 

thought I would try. This is Diane's Ice Drop

Oh, side note, I tatted a ring at the top when I finished 

tatting the pattern.

I had to find something to put inside the tatting(of 

course!), so I went and found a left over clear rose 

bead from the large pink suncatcher I made(you  can 

see the beads clearly here and even zoom in:

I like that you can see right through it.  :)

Well, that is all for now.

Have a wonderful tat-filled day!!!  :)
