My friend Catherine posted the other day that it was down to double digits until Christmas. Where has the year so far gone? Time for me to get my skates on and back into the Christmas groove with my online sites and Etsy shop. Won't be long until Santa is visiting - 96 days!
I've been trying to catch up today with some photography and posting on the shop so I thought I'd show you these pretty frosted snowflakes worked up into beaded ornaments.
I've added pearl gem stickers and shiny gem stickers to the snowflakes for a little more sparkle, and they feature some of my prettiest bead assortments.
With really chunky and sparkly beads this design is substantial, measuring a little over 6". Wiring them on to whimsical spiral beaded ornaments is just the right finishing touch to make them truly special.
Get ready to see all sorts of variations of these little snowflakes - even I don't know how many I'm currently working on but there are lots, lots, lots. All of them, of course, are my favourites.
It's been back to the snowflakes again around here - and this time with a different larger version which is clear. They're quite pretty to begin with, and I've used them on my own trees, but they're positivey transformed when covered in loads of glitter.
Looooook at these beads - aren't they pretty? The turquoise glass beads are about 18mm and have interesting flecks of other colours. The squishy looking Rondelles that I have recently discovered are perfect for an ornament feature as they catch the light from so many angles.
It's back to some fun stuff - and this time it's snowflakes! Clearing out some drawers I came across a package of snowflakes left over from last year. These little guys were hiding, so they didn't get worked up into earlier renditions.
