Video #2 Cutting Snowflakes

I have been blogging for quite some time now, mostly about  quilting, surface design, papercutting and doodling. Do you know what my most popular ......and most viewed post is?
It is this one on cutting snowflakes 

Since I am trying to teach myself how to make and edit video, I decided to record myself making one of my "themed" snowflakes.  Up until last week, our winter has been pretty mild and without much snow, that all changed over the last few days......it has gotten cold and the white stuff has arrived.
Has me dreaming of spring..... which inspired this snowflake


If you are interested, you can watch my latest video to see it develop from start to finish here



I also cut a slightly different version





Linking to Nina-Marie's Off the Wall Friday....where Nina-Marie has offered some excellent advice for all of us who find ourselves not spending enough of our time "creating"

I need to try this! Thanks for the great video! I saw the one you made for CV tonight at the guild meeting--Awesome!

Fireworks and a full marching band for this one! Designs multiplied, or divided, depending on which way you look at it, are so amazing. Very beautiful. The video is great!

Lynne Stucke said...

Loved the snowflake and the video! But I have a question. How will you transfer a design as intricate as this to fabric for your table runner?

Gwyned Trefethen said...

Stunning!

Nancy said...

Wow! Really beautiful!

These are so, so pretty! I usually end up cutting where I shouldn't and have the whole thing fall apart.

I am officially swooning! I have always admired and loved your intricate "snowflakes". Now seeing your hands in action via the video really has me amazed at your incredible skill and talents. Truly Creative Bliss Dear...

WOW!! How do you know how to design the snowflake so it will stay attached at the side edges, like paper dolls do? Does this just come from practice? Besides, of course, your amazing creative mind. Any thoughts on how a novice, like me, can get started?

This is simply incredible. YOU are simply incredible.
