Snowflakes, but make them Solid

This time, I leaned into something a bit more … wintery.

Somewhere between curiosity and the simple urge to make something with my hands, I opened up my computer and started sketching snowflakes. Seven of them, to be precise – each with its own personality, different enough to keep things interesting.

What began as clean vectors soon turned into the impatient buzz of a laser cutter doing its thing. Thin sheets of plywood carefully transformed into a small collection of wooden snowflakes. Crisp edges, straight, snowflaky lines. And just enough imperfection to remind me they are real.

Then came color. Simple white & blue – just enough to give them a bit of warmth, ironically. A final touch: a simple string, so they can quietly find their place on a Christmas tree.

A small project, somewhere between design and play. Not made for a client, not made for a deadline – just made to explore, to balance pixels and material, and to enjoy the process from screen to object.

And yes, they look quite at home hanging on a tree.
