Description Last year was the Sugar Plum Beanie, this year it's the Sugar Snowflake (Veanie). This was done for my Christmas cards, which I'll be printing out and sending over the following week.

Inspired by , who always gets excited when it snows.


Edit: Based on some additional critiques, I adjusted the ear muffs so they stand out from her hair and are smaller. I also adjusted the colors a bit./end edit

Edit: The wood siding on the building is from a photo of my bedroom floor that I used as a pattern, in case you were curious. /end edit


Thanks to , , and my mom and dad for the helpful critiques along the way!

The snowflakes look absolutely stunning, but Veanies hair on the right side looks a bit weird.

Thank you! Do you mean her bangs or the ponytail or the ear muff?

I meant the earmuff. It looked too much like the rest of Veanies hair.

Ah, I see. I probably should've made them darker.

I fixed the colors of the earmuffs and made them smaller! Thanks for your help.

Critiques are very helpful! So much of the time I don't notice things that look off because in my mind I know what it's supposed to be, so I can easily miss how it looks to someone seeing it for the first time.

This is really beautiful. Can I just say that it really excites me to see how your art has developed over the years. Some of the things you're making now are just incredible. Look at the details in those snowflakes!

Thank you! I don't always put in the time to do pieces like this, and it's something I'd like to do more of.
