Still doing Jon Yusoff's snowflakes in bangles. These two are "Radiance" and "Spring Blossom" from her Tatted Snowflake Collection. The thread is Oren Bayan silver metallic thread. I think it's bigger than size 80, but a bit smaller than size 40.
When I put "Radiance" in the bangle, I found it was a bit too small, so I added rings as I covered the bangle. That was awkward; the bangle kept getting in the way. The holder-rings are obvious and a little twisted. I applied a person-using-thread-that-frays-horribly-when-you-try-to-unpick-it standard: a man on a galloping horse will never notice, so I left 'em. As the thread is fine, instead of the lock chain I usually make for hanging loops, I wrapped a second thread around the bangle at the end and made a pearle-tatted loop.
These are the latest, but I've got another on the shuttles. I think the stack is about a dozen high now. It's rather like being stuck in third gear! There are another 40 or 50 bangles in my supply box. Maybe I should save some for another year.

Stuck in 3rd or not, these are beautiful! I would like to learn your pearl tatted chain.
Beautiful, what a great idea to put the snowflakes in a bangle and then hang them up, 40 to 50 bangles I can see you working on them all year.
It's a great way to show the snowflakes off. Love the standard that a man on a galloping horse won't notice! Even a woman at the computer won't notice until you point it out.
Your flakes in bangles are great.
Those extra rings make the Radiance even prettier in the bangle !
Both look stunning!!! :)
Joining to bangles can be fiddlesome, but it's worth it!! :)
