25 Motif Challenge #6

Brain-damaged me made a realization - I was forgetting to count my pieces! This piece starts the count at 6 motifs finished so far.

I had a bit of trouble keeping the center balanced, but it might be a bit easier with a larger thread. I do like this pattern as it seems to reproduce the natural crystalline shape of snowflakes.

Have you ever seen butterflies in the snow? I have here in West Texas as the changing of the seasons you may see a butterfly flitting over snow. This snowflake reminds me of that as the 'points' look like butterflies to me.

This doily was very easy to make with a nicely balanced design. It is a prime example of the professional free patterns available on the internet.

It's been a bit since I've posted due to a severe bout of arthritis and muscle pain. I'm coming out of it and feeling a LOT better. This is the third snowflake from the HH book, but it is not one of my favorites. It is just too light and flimsy for my taste.
