Cut-Me-Own-Snowflake

Paper snowflake no. 6.

Ankh-Morpork! Ankh-Morpork! So good they named it Ankh-Morpork!





Closer to real size:



As a longtime Discworld fan I really enjoyed doing this one. Because it's packed pretty full of specific shapes, this was the first snowflake where I had to sketch out everything before cutting, just to make sure all the pieces fit in (usually I improvise the non-shaped cuts). It was a tight squeeze, but it worked. As with the others, this was a folded scissors cut.

In honor of the fair River Ankh, it's on a sludgy brown background.


Ankh:



A morepork:

Do you see the letters "AM" under the owl?



There's also a nod to Pterry's hats atop the ankh.

Flake measures 8 5/8" wide.

Ah, this is brilliant! I can't believe every bit of it actually means something.
