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?

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. :)

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 ♥.
