Into the future!

While 10 blocks of 6'x3'x4' ice may seem like a lot, it won't feel like it. Much ice will be lost to irregularly shaped scraps. Some will be lost to shatterage. Most of it, though, will be taken up by the sculpture. The saguaro alone, will be responsible for most of 3 blocks. I'm using the CAD program "Google Sketchup" to help me figure out block usage and create templates. All this pre-work is incredibly important... it's no fun to stand around in -30 weather, scratching your head, trying to figure out what to do next, while the clock continues to mercilessly tick down.


Here's the site, under construction


Here's the details for our Momma Javelina
