Elana Ice Drop

I followed a link on the Facebook Ice Drop Addicts page to this tutorial for an Ankars style brooch. Beautiful, isn't it? I thought I'd see if I could adapt the pattern to fit in with Diane's  Basic Ice Drop pattern. I could, though it wasn't as easy as I supposed! Took me many hours. So that I don't forget what I did, I'm going to write it down here. I could also make a PDF pattern, if anyone else is interested.

Elana Ice Drop

Wind two shuttles CTM with 49 small beads on shuttle 1 and 11 beads on shuttle 2. I used a Starlit shuttle to for shuttle 1, as the beads filled an aero one up too quickly.

MB - move bead into position. SS swap shuttles. SR split ring, RW reverse work

Round 1 and 2 as for the Basic Ice Drop.

Round 3
