Fun with Snowflakes

Ever wanted to use a snowflake in your blog or as a graphic anywhere from your computer? These snowflakes are all made online, for free at this site. Make a snowflake

Be careful because like Active Rain...making snowflakes can also be addictive! When I first arrived there, I didn't understand how to use it, but you need to take the scissors (the middle will turn green for cutting) and cut out whatever you like. You can view it, cut some more and then save it in your desired format.

Go have some fun! and check out the flakes made by others before you.

Karen, learning to manuever the scissors is a bit tricky at first. I enjoyed playing with the virtual paper and scissors. . .And oh yes, it's a lot less mess! Here's what I did. snowflake Merry Christmas!

Neato. Did you check out the TOS? Is it OK to use the snowflakes on a commercial site?

Cynthia! good to see you, it's been awhile. I hope all is well:) It's fun isn't it? Nice snowflake1

Maureen, Yes, it's okay as far as I can tell. They just don't want you stealing the software.

Karren, sorry I have been shoveling so much snow lately that snow flakes are the last thing I want to make ......... LOL

so you have snow in CT George. Do you have snow in RI Karen?

Oh what fun, just like when we were kids! I want to try it too.

DEC

George, Lucky for me I am not the one doing the shoveling!! Guess its similar where you are:)

Maureen, Yes, we are almost up to our ears in snow! I like the paper snow better:) Looking at florida right now:)

Georgina, Yup, that's exactly what I thought when I found this. A little creative fun is a good thing right now.

I blogged about it on ColumbusBestBlog.com this AM. We do not have snow in Columbus. We will get snow today? Mixed with rain? And then it is going to be warmer the next couple of days. It will not be a White Christmas in Columbus this year.

The snowflake I made is not as delecate as yours Karen. I am not good with virtual scissors.

If I may add a link to a Flake?

On Twitter @MichelleDe Twitpic'ed a flake which I see odd things in. disturbing things. If Michelle's snow flake was a Rorschach inkblot test what do you see?

hmmm...I see devils, cats and umbrellas...what do "you" see?

two headed cats... or maybe just two cats with their heads together. We both had cats. Or they may be elephants. See the trunks?

Devils?

Umbrellas?

Gee, that's really scarey -- not the snowflake -- that I saw the same thing Karen did (and I didn't see her answer before looking).

Now, I'm going to make snowflakes. :)

Thanks for the tip. I'm off to make a few flakes which should be a nice distraction for a while. Merry Christmas.

I made a snowflake...

DEC

Maureen, the devils are in the middle:) (or as they say "the details":)

Hey Judi, nice snowflake..its fun isn't it"

Hi Donna, you can let your grandkids do this and it won't make a mess.

Happy Holidays

Here's my flake...Hee! Hee!

Trish, it's really interesting to see the flakes people make. Nice to meet you!

DEC

Merry Christmas Karen!

DEC

Same to you Paul:)

Hi, Karen of Stonehurst Realty. I do like the name of that company! :) Hope you had a wonderful Christmas Day! :)

Hi Judi, Thanks, so do I..(like the name:) Hope you did also, will talk to you later.We have one more Xmas visit tomorrow morning then it will be over...

DEC

Another test

Another test????? testing testing testing testing testing -- anyone there??? Nope, test failed.

What will they think of next - I love making snowflakes - the fun is opening it when you are done as you never know how it is going to turn out. I was going along pretty good and then I couldn't get the scissors to cut any more. I had to stop before I became too addicted. Thanks.

JAN

Hi Judi, I was testing because the blogs were "joined"!!! then I left:)

Cathy, You should post it here!! And yes, it was addicting. I am staying away. I have enough addicting things in my life.

OHHHH, the blogs were joined??? How'd that happen??? Sure do like your new "signature" line at the bottom of the comments. :)

JAN

The snowflake graphics look like fun Karen. The natural forms are wonderful and emulating them is fascinating. This is a mere tiny frozen water crystal formation through a microscope lens...

JAN

Okay Karen....I tried it and didn't get it...I'll have to experiment more. Fun to play with I'm sure since we don't have snowflakes here. ;-)

JAN

Deborah, That is beautiful! The real thing is much prettier by far! And incredible that it is so tiny with such detail!

Teri, Well it takes a moment to get it and you are lucky you don't have snowflakes there! I am getting tired of snowflakes:)

Hi Karen - I just found this post, and it looks like fun! I'm going to go check and see what I can come up with.

Happy New Year,
Ann

Here are 2 I made, and I have no clue really how I did these. Those scissors aren't the easiest to use!

Ann, I really love the second one!! That must have taken a few moments to do:) No little pieces of paper to pick up either.

Ok, I made another snowflake -- here's my SHOW & TELL...now, how did I get that design??? Looks like CRAWFISH!!!

Judi's Snowflake

JAN

Or guardian angels...A new englander probably wouldn't see a crawfish in there:)

Lobsters in NE? Or trefoils? I see a trefoil. I can see it as an angel.

hmmm lots of angels and demons from my perspective...Tried finding a pentagram...

Trefoil can also be a Christian symbol.

Here is a wierd one Starfish or froglegs

I just discovered that a trefoil is a Christian symbol a few years ago in a church in the Detroit area. I wondered why some of the pews had trefoils so I went home and "Googled" what a trefoil symbolized. I thought it meant something about France or something to do with a king... or New Orleans. I have a friend who is from Louisianna who has lots of trefoils on his patio

That was fun. I didn't do too well, so I didn't save it, but I will work on it a bit more. thanks for sharing this site.

Karen, yes, I see where it could be Angels too -- but the first thing that came to my mind was either lobsters or crawfish. Being a Louisiana girl, I said crawfish. :)

Maureen, by trefoils do you also mean fleur de lis? I have a lot of fleur de lis around my house. I recently bought a beautiful print where the fleur de lis is the inspiration and the artist layered drawings of items related to Louisiana to the fleur de lis. She has a series of these prints -- I love how she does it.

Karen, I wrote a post about the artwork -- you, being an artist, would find it interesting.

Ok, I'm going to try making another snowflake!!! :)

It may be the fleur de lis that I see in the flake.

JAN

That is so cool!

JAN

My daughter was looking for a site just like this, thanks!
