I need two more heartflakes for a special project I'm working on, so I took another stab at my Part I Snowflake. I'm still struggling with the heart-shaped openings in this flake!
I decided to put heart picots on the tips because I had no faith the heart shape was going to work out. Again.
The prototype was such a bear to pin because I need to redo the last few rounds and increase the chain spaces to help the flake lay flat. But also, my snowflake factory, a pizza box, is a wee bit too old. Too many pin holes. I couldn't pull any of the points tight enough.
If there's no flake pattern today, it's because I'm still working on it. I think I'm going to change it up quite a bit to get those heart shapes, so it's not going to look like the AI inspiration at all. And that's kind of fine with me because that makes it even more my idea. Meanwhile, the struggle with this flake is reminding me of our current weather situation. We are still deeply embedded in drought, and the forecasted snow accumulation we longed for last week resulted in a whole three photos!!! Insufficient!!! Bring on the snow, please!!!
