Realistic and Detailed Snow Flakes?

I'm looking for some tutorials on realistic and detailed snow flakes. I've looked and searched on almost all search engines and the only thing I find is clipart. Does anyone have some ideas? Thanks.

Thanks alot. That's what I'm looking for.

Ok this is really simple, but if u use windings font and use a capital "T" then u get a nice snowflake and u can apply all the filters to it if ya want... just thought it mite help..?

Well if he didn't want clipart i can assume he doesn't want a font image either. This way he has more control over his image even if he takes a bit to get used to making them. I tried it once, heh, i sucked.

yeah fine, just thought it mighta helped had he been stuck, remind me not 2try and help again ;)

LOL didn't say it was useless info, just in this case that it probably wouldn't work just by what he was looking for. Or rather wasn't look for (clipart).
Could be wrong though.

Actually i used to love taking fonts and making weird new shapes with them.

phew:o i nearly got a little angry there!
