I'd like to tell you about how I came to create my snowflakes. Maria tutors my daughters in Math and while I was at her house, I noticed that she had some snowflakes hanging up. It reminded me of the snowflakes I created in the past 10 years using my family's and friends names. Back then, while cutting snowflakes, it came to me that if I could cut around my name using interesting characters, I could make a really cool snowflake. Thus, my idea was born.

I made Maria one that day and she cut it out. She absolutely loved the result. I'm so happy that she's making a computer program so others can share in this fun activity. I can't wait to see the end result.

My background is in drafting for the plumbing trade. I love all types of lettering and for Maria's name I used a type of lettering that looks more hippy-ish and is what I used to copy in the 70's.

I love the internet! Here's the type of lettering I used-the second link is my inspiration: (http://www.sonypictures.com/classics/crumb/ks/art.html)
