And like Alice it just grow'd

Got some nice variegated green, and decided to expand on my last piece. Much smaller thread this time so it is about the same size.

All rings and chains are 6ds between picots, with not a ruffle or cup occurring.

This took absolutely ages. I was trying to "translate" a pattern into something I could understand at a glance from a book by Julia E Saunders. Only just managed it due to a good picture, where I could relate what was going on. There's some beautiful stuff in it but I can't make head nor tail of most of it. Shame really. I still got lost but made up one of the first stars, then did my own thing with it, The book was still under the sofa when I went to find it just now.

It is made from Cronit rayon thread, it is a pig to work with, but the colours are smashing. Unfortunately the lady who sells it in Shrewsbury has only got 3 colours Ecru, a salmon pink and this green. It is about a foot across.

Each separate motif uses the best part of 20 yards of this thread

I seem to get something wrong with every snowflake I do. They all end up with 7 facets. Wierd.

This is a near miss at Darlene Pilachic's Ice Crystals Snowflake.

It's in DMC cordonet special size 70 and is 1 and a quarter inches across.

The Owl

I was doodling about , dropped it and picked it up the "wrong" way up, and thought it looked a bit owlish. Fiddled about a bit more and here he is......



When I get a couple of shuttles free, (limited supply), I'll do him again and post the pattern.

I do remember the thread is Finka pearle size 12.

Halloween Masks

Couple (well 1) of evil faces for the end of the Month

The second one is similar to the first but with the top of the head cut off and the ends teased out.
