Judy writes: "I sent my partner, JJ Jacobs, a blue and silver icicle ornament with Swarovski
Crystal highlights. She told me she doesn’t have a tree, but decorates
plants, etc around her home with ornaments.
"I remade it twice, trying to
get the tension tighter so the swirls would be closer together. The
first time I used size 8 silver metal beads for the core, but the large
holes made the structure too floppy. I redid it with regular Miyuki seed
beads and it was better. I made up the design, just using spirals with
an increasing number of beads to achieve the shape.
"My great
granddaughter loved that ornament, so she took it home and I made
another one for the swap."

Hi Judy,

Beautiful! Icicles are one of my favorite tree decorations. The colors or yours reminds me of glacial ice.
ReplyDeleteI love the icicle you sent Judy.
ReplyDeleteI started making one to send Becky, then I changed my mind. Now that I see yours completed, I will finish mine.
I love the color as well.
