...And Winter's Waiting

[ldhenson]

My eyes started aching after I'd spent all day putting together patterns for my dragons, so I took a break and moved on to something that caused no eyestrain at all.

Oh, I kid! It's eyestrain city all around!

Anyway, following up on my Brooklyn Bridge one, Newsies gets a turn at the snowflakes, and Jack and David manage to sneak their way in.





Closer to real size:



Folded scissors cut, as usual. There's a nod to the turn of the century with a Victorian-inspired scroll border along the outer edge.


Closeup of the boys. I hope they don't incite my other snowflakes to go on strike.



Flake is 8.75" across, the biggest of the lot so far.

Oh my, I can see David's ears. I've admired all your snowflakes and the attention to detail thus far, and yet it's David's ears that draw comment -- go figure.

Also: I hope they don't incite my other snowflakes to go on strike.

Heh, I'm glad you noticed. I chose that pose for that very reason!

How did that happen? That's pretty darn cool!!!

[ginnyssprace.livejournal.com]

I am so impressed. I heart Jack and David!

that's really cool! I always admire interesting and new ways of showing tribute...snowflakes! Very original ;) I'm impressed with your skill at design too. Good stuff.

Wow. That's amazing!

Thanks! The first snowflake I did (for Supernatural (http://ldhenson.livejournal.com/192748.html)) was sort of an out-of-nowhere brainstorm, but the rest of them have been carefully planned.

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

Thank you. They're my favorites as well!

Thanks very much. I cut plain snowflakes every year but this year I finally hit upon the notion that if I could cut abstract shapes then I could cut specific ones as well!

Thank you!

WOW. That is really impressive. It took me a minute to see it, but once I did I was stunned. Amazing work!

That is totally badass. 8D

that is very cool! you have such an eye for detailed silhouettes (I've been taking a peek at your SPN and Merlin ones, too) and it's stunning. thank you for sharing! :D

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

Thanks very much. It seemed only right that Jack and David should get to share a snowflake.

I'm curious, did you have to look at the closeup to see it? I ask because I wonder how it looks to someone who's seeing it for the first time.

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

Haha, thanks!

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

Well thank you! Silhouettes (of people) are very tricky to do, but if they work out they're totally worth it. I'm going to keep making more until I run out of ideas, so check back for others in the future.

HA omg! That's seriously amazing.

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

Thanks very much!

[ladililn.livejournal.com]

Wow. That's awesome. You have skills with the scissors. ;)

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

Well thank you!
