Happy Holidays – 2015

Wishing you all a very happy holiday season! Take time to relax with friends and family, and to recollect your thoughts for the new year.

Baby snow dragons guiding 'flakes to the ground.
(Because "gravity" just wasn't magical enough.)

My holiday card this year featured a teeny-tiny snowflake-sized dragon. You didn’t think that snowflakes fell so gracefully on their own now, did you? ^_~

The snowflake is a 3D model, with the dragon drawn over top of the render. This meant that I could print a “real” snowflake for each of the cards, which could be hung up as an ornament! I tried translucent filament for this, and though I had a few problems early on with the material burning and turning a cloudy brown, the end result made for a very pretty ice effect.

Thank you for checking out my projects this year. I hope to have plenty more coming up in 2016. Enjoy!
