Organic Snowflake Ornaments

Nobody's perfect, not even snowflakes.

These six organic snowflake designs were procedurally generated with code in a way that mimics the way that actual snowflakes form as they fall to earth through changing temperature and atmospheric conditions. The code includes random "wiggles" that introduce imperfections into the structure of the flake, creating a stylized, organic form.

Created with our OpenSCAD-fueled [Snowflake Machine](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1159436), which is a free tool that you can also use if you want to create your own custom snowflake designs. To learn how to use the Snowflake Machine, check out the article [Tutorial Tuesday 45: Make One Billion Snowflakes With the Snowflake Machine](https://www.shapeways.com/blog/archives/36528-tutorial-tuesday-45-make-one-billion-snowflakes-snowflake-machine.html).
