Idea Crystallized

I found some 'crystals', 14mm faceted octogonal disks, and decided to play a little and tat around one, just to experiment.


I like the play of light, and the way crystals reflect different colours.......



The beginning....


I thought of using it as a pendant for a necklace or just as a focal for my CQing.
 see how the colours change when it's on a different fabric?
 The result:  sort of a snowflake

the arms look a bit wonky in the pic, but  it hasn't been blocked

this will be sewn down on fabric, perhaps on one of my CQJP blocks




I think I liked it better as a pendant.



It was fun to experiment. I think I'll try a few different patterns and see what happens.











Have you been experimenting lately?
Thanks for visiting.
