Flakes, Warp and Weft
-
This is a picture of part of my camera bag. I was astonished by
the near-perfection of the snow flakes. Of course, the best ones refused
to land in the right place, but you can see what they were like anyway.
You got great variety in these, but then they say that all flakes are unique.
I remember finding some perfect little white hexagons some years ago, about 4mm or so.
What size are these, by the way, as the warp/weft clues don’t give much guidance.PeteTheBloke wrote:

Difficult to do these, I presume?
did you have long before your subject melted away?I’m not sure of the fabric as a background-
although anything else might have required a different title-
though as it’s in the macro section, I was quite expecting to find a product from Cadbury’s when I opened it…
Only the crumbliest…Thanks for looking.
Pixelle – I suppose the biggest of these was 6-8 mm. I’m not convinced about the uniqueness
because I saw many that looked similar. I guess there are certain patterns that are prone
to occur more than others. They’re probably unique in the way that (say) leaves are
unique: no two on a tree are identical but you’d get bored trying to prove it.JB – The temperature that day was a bit low to melt these, but I was getting fidgety
about my lens getting wet so I was rushing. The best way would have been to have a
suitably chilled needle to arrange a perfect composition of nicely formed flakes and
then take dozens of pictures till I got the right one. I could have put it in the Still Life
section then.
