Make A Flake


So a day or so ago, thanks to Maren, I came across this really awesome snowflake making application called Make A Flake. My coworkers and I promptly had a snowflake making competition which became surprisingly intense. After a lot of nit picky snipping and designing we came up with some pretty amazing flakes. I judged myself the winner but that was contested. Oh well, you can never make everyone happy.

I've gone back several times since because snow flake making is so much fun! And doing it on the computer means there's no need to worry about sweeping up afterwards. If you only have a minute or an hour, it's worth trying out. Above is one of the many flakes I have since produced. Can you see my name in it?

ooooh. yes I can see your name. As cool as the computer method is, I think the old fashioned way is still better, then you can hang them up.

Wow!! Very nice indeed. I'd give you the prize if only I knew what it was. Glad you enjoyed it; I find it addictive and relaxing at the same time. I try to make one or two (or three) before I close down the computer for the day.

That sounds like a lot of fun. The kids and I make snowflakes every year and hang them in their windows. We will have to try this out.

wow, that's quite advanced... i'm at the snip at random and see what comes out level, but I don't think anyone will be surprised that your handy skills are superior to mine.

i didn't understand why steve came home from work so excited to tell me about cutting snowflakes-- until I got addicted myself!!
