Snow Flakes!

Snow Flake Project

This first screenshot is the first step in making a Snow Flake in Photoshop

You first make a single straight line, then add random shapes (ideally ones that rotate without looking weird).

Once you have put a few shapes together, you can then merge them together (so it's easier for you).

Next, you simply duplicate the layer you just made, then merge the new layer and the old one together; just make sure you don't merge the background layer with the shape you've made so far.

 Following the last step, duplicate the layer

Then rotate it 90 degrees, so it looks like the screenshot below.

Next, merge those layers together and like last time rotate the image (after duplicating it), but make sure to rotate the images 45 degrees instead of 90.
There you go! You have a shape that round about represents a snow flake, if you wanted; you could make the image bigger, have more shapes on it or do pretty much what ever you wanted.
