In Winter Wonderland and Snowflakes

In the last week of November, I was off to Hokkaido, the northernmost island of Japan. This was my second time to Japan after Tokyo many years back, and I anticipated a totally different experience. I was not disappointed. In fact this is the first time I saw snow!

Well, I'll tell you more about my Hokkaido trip in another post... (haha, such a teaser).

I really want to show you the snowflakes I tatted. Besides Julie's snowflake which was in the previous post, I tatted some snowflakes designed by Decoromana and le Flocon Frivole by Frivole. They were all easy to tat up and I was having a ball of a time. I used a variety of threads ranging from #20 to #100.

I also made use of these snowflakes in the various items I made.

Fabric ATCs

Speaking of ATCs, this month at the local ATC meet, our organiser Moses shared a technique in making ATCs. Watercolours were used to paint the little squares in creating a pretty visual.

Two samples he showed us...

Look at the creative pieces the participants made!

And this is my piece.
