OH MY!!! Within our NSAN Yahoo Group Cynthia, our instructor, issued a challenge to the group after our self closing mock ring SCMR technique lesson/chat to use this technique and design your own Snowman. WELL I LOVE Snowmen so studied this SCMR over and over and then started my design on paper. Then when I thought I understood what I was doing picked up the two shuttles and went to work. Here's the results!
Now I must say the very first attempt was scrapped when I got totally confused and missed a step. So my first "finished" attempt is on the left and I joined the first circle picots to the second circle picots which created ripples instead of lying flat. So I began again and allowed more DSs at the beginning and end of the second circle to allow these rings to not interfere with the first circle rings - lies flatter. Now when I do it again I will make one or two more sets of DSs and rings on the bottom circle and I think that will be more Snowman like. OK back to making more of these so I can get my North Pole postcards finished this weekend too!!! YAHOOIE!!!
