12 Days of Snowflakes

Since 2013, Atelier Drome has released a dozen snowflake patterns every year in December as the 12 Days of Snowflakes. Creative minds in the office come up with fun, original patterns related to events, pop culture and news tidbits related to our studio from the year. One design will release every business day leading up to December 24. Take a look at this year’s designs below.

We hope you enjoy them as much as we do! On December 17th, our newsletter with the full book of all 12 patterns will hit inboxes. If you don't receive our newsletter, you can grab a spot on the list from the link in our footer.

Snowflake 05:

Mariners

After over two decades, the Seattle Mariners finally clinched their first AL West divisional title and Division Series since 2001. Though they sadly lost to the Blue Jays in a solid attempt at the World Series, our M’s gave us a season to remember, full of hope, heart, and hometown pride. This is also the year of Ichiro Suzuki’s Hall of Fame induction and jersey retirement. Here’s to next year, Seattle…the dream is alive and well!

Snowflake 04:

Hot Rat Summer

It all began in Seattle’s Cal Anderson Park, where a mysterious mosaic rat appeared with a halo and a rainbow landscape celebrating LGBTQ+ and transgender visibility. This reimagining of “Hot Girl Summer” as a rat grew into a symbol of creativity, community, and resilience. Each time the city painted over it, supporters scraped it clean, restoring a piece of art that had come to represent something far bigger than a mosaic.

Snowflake 03:

Kendrick Lamar

Kendrick Lamar’s halftime show at the 2025 Super Bowl carried the unmistakable pulse of protest. Against the backdrop of New Orleans, he wove together sound and symbolism to spotlight the issues at the heart of his work.

Snowflake 02:

Labubu

From the imagination of artist Kasing Lung, Labubu leapt from folklore into fashion, finding fans from Antwerp to Asia. With its mischievous grin and curious charm, this snowflake celebrates the little monster with big-hearted magic that became a global symbol of creativity without borders.

Snowflake 01:

Justin & Katy

No one saw this one coming…a Canadian prime minister and a California pop star spotted sailing the high seas together and then made things Instagram official over the weekend. Romance? Diplomacy? Either way, this snowflake captures the year’s most unexpected headline. Sometimes real life writes the best fan fiction.

On January 1, 2022, we officially turned 10 years old (yay!) and as a way to both celebrate this milestone and share a bit about us, each snowflake design this year told a story from the past decade of Atelier Drome. We invite you to get to know us a little more through sharing these stories.

Snowflake Archive: 2020

A year partially filled with uncertainty as we sheltered at home and learned all about social distancing in public, we decided to turn our focus away from pop culture and instead explore "A Few of Our Favorite Things." We invited everyone to get to know our team a little more through sharing what we love with the hope that others would think about the things they love.
