What a beautiful set of photos Greenthumb....thanks for showing us.........

Sure, Getting to share gave me a reason to get out and brave the cold....

Thanks for the pics Gt, I enjoyed the beautiful ice sculptures!!

Great Panther. I'm so glad. :-) I'll have sooo many out this weekend on a blog.

Can't wait to see your blog GT. Checked out the website...I think your photos are better :) Nice to see the process on the website though. Thanks for weathering the freezing cold, they're really beautiful. Hope you've thawed out by now ;~)

Thank you TG. I appreciate that. :-) All thawed. I caught them all right on time. This morning five more inches of snow and still warm enough to keep melting. Usually the show ends before I even went because of thaw. Not so far. I'm afraid of Mt Redoubt bringing a cold summer. It did in 89. I suppose I'm out of the danger zone anyway.

Fantastic! So creative!

Seen some of these amazing sculptures in a newspaper, Greenthumb. What happens if a bit breaks off when they are making them, is there a repair kit, or are no failures allowed?

Debrah
There were sites that just had some broken ice under the snow, so I believe if you break your block, your out. Small fixes can be made, but you wont get a new block to work on. Mulitblock sculpture are stacked and fused and then carved, so I believe the same rules would apply. It is a championship.

Absolutely fabulous Greenthumb ,thankyou for taking a walk and showing these amazing sculptures, hope it soon gets warmer for you.Looking forward to seeing your blog.......

Thanks Lincslass. I've got it posted if you'd like to have a look. :-) It's neat stuff, worth a cold walk.
