A snowflake for winter…it’s winter for some y’know.

So I was going to save this one for when it was winter in my hemisphere as thats one big thing about living in Oz is that we are so about face with the seasons everyones  ‘seasonal activities’ never match our season.  Well I am still in the northern hemisphere and it’s starting to heat up.    So even though I’m walking into summer here’s a snowflake for those lucky buggers who are chillin in ‘my winter’…which by the way for those who don’t know – average temp is about 23 degrees – celcius that is ( approx 73 degrees fahrenheit).  Now thats what I call winter!

Anyway you may remember making snowflakes when you were a kid by folding paper and cutting chunks out with scissors.  Well here is the technology version.  It looks a bit difficult but I can see some really intricate beauties in the gallery – and I don’t think my try was that bad.  It does look better white, I must say.

Flake number 20290285...my flake

Anyway the flakes on the site are white, but when you save them they are blue.  Have a look you can save anyone’s flake so go find yourself something beautiful to brighten up your dreary winter day, or make a beauty yourself! (Now or in six months time 😉 )  And dont forget you can make them in real life too!
