Since I attended The Crystal Grotto (ice-carved musical instruments performing in a unique ice-theater) in Beaver Creek, Colorado, I started searching more about ice-sculptures. It’s fascinating to learn the techniques if creating it. The temperature of the environment affects how quickly the piece must be completed to avoid melting. Ice sculptors use power tools, such as chainsaws and specialty bits fitted to a die grinder. They also use razor-sharp chisels that are specifically designed for cutting ice. Many sculptures are now created largely by machine. Color effects use techniques that includes the addition of colored gels or sand to the ice. The lifetime of a sculpture can last from minutes to possibly months depending on temperature of its environment. There are several ice festivals held around the world, hosting competitions of ice sculpture carving.
Here are some ice-sculptures somewhere around the world that I found on google.
haha…this ice-fountain sculpture has no work involved. It naturally froze by the cold of this winter.
Big thank you to Jasna-FashionJazz for this award. I’d love to pass this to you all, but there are a limited number of them, sorry about that. So for now, allow me to pass it to 10 fabulous blogs: Pear Westwood , Janet Taylor, Style Odyssey, A Daisy Chain Dream, The High Heel Time, VitaMinn Style, Fashion Titbits, Dream Of A Life Time, Watching the Waves, Haute World.
Wishing you all a blessed day!!!

The Kane for Topshop boots are fantastic!! I'm impressed by the styling and quality. I wish there was a Topshop near me.
Really cool and edgy, and absolutely perfect w/ your outfit. RO coat is killer. Love it all.

Thank you for the award my dear! I never tire of seeing that Rick Owens coat… the perfect combination of edgy and classic. I just got one of his leather jackets on a sale and I'm in love with it (but unfortunately it's too cold to wear at the moment).
The ice sculptures are amazing. I saw those on CNN a while ago and was very impressed. Hope you're having a great week so far!

wow….
what a beautiful sculpture.
love it.
That is a FIERCE heel! I went to an ice bar once in Copenhagen. It was really fun for five minutes!
I knew YOU would definitely rock the riveted Chris Kane for Topshop booties. I saw a wonderful pair on sale and was wondering how they would look in person. So sad I didn't get them because you look marvy.
This is very chic..that coat is making my heart stop! I went to an ice bar in London and it was amazing-thank goodness for my drink or I would have frozen!
cheers, Jesa
