Want Any Snowflakes From The Shop?

[ldhenson]

No. 5 in my series of paper snowflakes.

We are talking major ice cream headache here, folks.





Closer to real size:



I wanted to keep the lines for this one clean since it's such an iconic shape. It was much harder to cut than I expected, since a lot of the paper was being separated from its surroundings, and so did not want to stay lined up while I finished cutting. You can also see how the thickness of the paper produces different-sized slices between the cones, because twelve folded layers will result in displacement along a folded edge. I have to be super-careful with this one, because at one point there is a 1/32" bridge of paper holding it together. (Yikes.)


Closeup! "Just one Cornetto..."



Flake is 8 3/8" across from vanilla peak to vanilla peak.

Do you think a dozen cones is enough to satisfy the various Fregg couples?

I had like a brain fart and my mind didn't make the leap from ice cream to Cornettos, but now I see it. It's awesome! Nice work! How long did it take you?

[alpha-orionis-v.livejournal.com]

That is AMAZING!

Who knew a Cornetto could be so pretty? (Well, Danny, of course...but I'd never have thought it...)

The others on your site are beautiful, too...you must have the patience of a saint. :)

I have my new cards, so I can paypal you for the walrus tin now! What address do you use?

[grace-poppy.livejournal.com]

Hee, you're so awesome and adorable. :D

[swankyfunk.livejournal.com]

That is just fantastic! Danny would love you. :D

[big-twinkie.livejournal.com]

hey, neat!

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Honestly I don't know how long it took me. Mostly I spent the time before the actual cutting looking up Cornetto photos, trying to figure out how I was going to get a 3D shape (the ice cream part) on a 2D sheet of paper without cutting the flake all to pieces.

Thank you!

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much! We don't have Cornettos here but I had to go get myself some ice cream after I finished cutting :-)

Glad you like the rest, too. It's been a lot of fun experimenting with them.

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

Great! It's the same as my e-mail.

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

:-D Thank you!

Hahaha, oh my gosh, your icon!

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Hey, anything that makes Danny love me is okay by me!

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[tawg.livejournal.com]

Wow. Well done!

[sheerpoetry.livejournal.com]

WOW.
ALL of these snowflakes are absolutely amazing! And all the different movies and such you've done is spectacular!
I had to comment here, though, because Fregg is automatic ♥.

(I wandered over from geekcrafts, by the way.)

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

Oh my, I never saw your comment until now. Thank you (belated)!

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you very much! The snowflakes are a source of much grumbling and hair-tearing but they're always worth it when I unfold them at the end :-)

Also, for more Cornetto fun I also did these (http://ldhenson.livejournal.com/157409.html). Because Cornettos + Fregg = <3

[sheerpoetry.livejournal.com]

I can't even begin to wrap my mind around how in the world you make the, but they're nothing short of amazing!

Ooh! Plushie Cornettos!
