Motif 50

Finally done with the motif challenge round 2!

This is Light and Airy Snowflake from Vida Sunderman's book.  It't a good thing the final snowflake is cute because it was painful to make!  There are multiple rings of 2 ds - as in 1 ds - join -1 ds - close.  Yikes!  I am often nervous when I see larger rings when working with metallic thread, but these small rings were just as nerve wracking!  There is a lot of pulling on the thread closing the small rings which then does not get used up as it would in a larger ring.  I don't know if that makes sense to anyone but me though.  To make matters worse, this particular color seemed extra elastic-y.

It's done though and no threads were snapped during its construction so all is good.

Made with Kreinik brain no. 4.

And no, I will not start with round 3 even though I may continue to make metallic snowflakes.  There are still a few snowflakes left in the book I have not yet made...
