A former preschool art teacher, Marion T. Nichols is renowned for her ability to transform ordinary sheets of paper into unique snowflake patterns. For more than 15 years, Nichols has taught classes and sold her self-published books of snowflake designs at the City Museum in St. Louis, where she also manages The Snowflake Room. She has also shared her techniques with various groups in the St. Louis area, as well as at the 2013 Applied Brilliance conference.

"In a word, ingenious! This is a great book for anyone, but it was particularly appealing to me as a craft project for a holiday party! Since I always do a craft with my grandchildren, I consider this book a great investment!"- Mari Conners, Editor, About Families

"These snowflakes are based on complex, realistic, animals, sophisticated design from a skillful artist with a unique approach to paper crafting. What a great gift this would be for your own kids, a teacher or anyone else who works with groups of children or seniors." - Judi Kauffman, Scrapbooking.com

"These are not your ordinary paper snowflakes. Marion has taken snowflakes to the next level with complex patterns and designs that are truly awe-inspiring works of art. It takes a gifted person to create these snowflakes, and an especially talented and patient person to teach others how to create their own special snowflakes." - Rick Erwin, the director of the City Museum, St. Louis
