ldhensonPaper 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.
