Snowflakes for Wizard

[FrameMakers]

It is time (or past time) to put up the Christmas Decorations. I was thinking that hanging some snowflakes in the front window would look pretty cool, but what would be even cooler would be to make then from mat board on the the Wizard.

While there are 2 designs in the cutart folder, like most of the other things in there they are pretty lame.

Does anyone have some designs out there they would like to share?

If not maybe we could get a few of us wizard guru's to each design 1-2 snowflakes say 12" across and then share with the rest of the G. Since no two flakes are the same we could have a great library of designs for next Christmas.

Great idea, Dave. Good way to use up matboard fallouts too.

Jared Davis is teaching a class in Vegas on using Corel Draw to make cut designs for CMC's. It should be a very worthwhile class for projects like this!

I'd be taking this class if I were going to Vegas!

Just sayin'!

I have one created in Corel Draw. View attachment Snowflake 1.pdf

If you want it, send me an email, artframe@att.net, and I will attach it in the reply. Also, please specify whether you want it as a DXF or a CDR file.

...and PLEASE when you design them, make them SIX pointed. Eight pointed "snowflakes" are WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!

Here is one that was sent to me http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17638864/Snowflake 003.WCX

The creator wishes to remain anonymous, but the design is amazing.

This is the snowflake that the file above makes.

Off topic - Photographing snowflakes is no easy task (or warm). George Lepp is getting into it too.
