Beautiful. ...The Winter Dream shown above is great. Beautiful. <br /><br />The frost I can help you with and only because it's been discussed lately in a few of the machine embroidery groups on Yahoo that I belong to. I am over 50 yrs old and have never heard of this before, but evidently frost like that is called "Hoar Frost (or "hoarfrost" as some spell it as one word)"<br />You can read a bit about it here http://www.weather.com/science/weather-explainers/news/hoarfrost-explained<br /><br />To add to that however, I just found an edu website at Cal Tech (link below) and there what your picture shows on their site is called Frost Flowers; another term I've never heard of before. <br />http://www.its.caltech.edu/~atomic/snowcrystals/frost/frost.htm <br /><br />Whichever it is, it's VERY cool!
