Snow play

Not every christmas is white, even here in Finland, so paper snowflakes are almost a necessity. I like to paste them on windows and watch the pale winter light cast shadows through them.

Cutting paper snowflakes is one of those magical things that whisks us back to childhood with the snip of scissors. The uniqueness of every snowflake, paper or real, reminds me of the uniqueness of every human. All beautiful, all unique.

Now, virtual snowflakes, just bits on the screen. Oh, I was a bit sceptical. But soon found out it's actually quite addictive! A neat tool, too, if you want to practise cutting patterns. And no clean-up afterwards.
