January's piece "All Iced Up"

This started just being the color white, then we had some snow the first week of January, and so the title "All Iced Up".  I made iced flowers, an iced feather, iced up water is everywhere, even some snow.  Of course, thinking of all thngs iced reminded me of Alaska, and so the glacial ice water color had to come in.  The Kenai River is represented by the flow of amazonite chips. The top of the silver ice river has chunks of ice that remind me of Spring breakup on the Kotzebue Sound.

I hope I have as much fun on February's piece.

    You had fun making this and I had fun looking at all the beautiful details in the click-to-enlarge version. If this isn't ice, then I don't know what is. It reminds me of the ice palace festival in St. Paul, where many artists come from far away places to carve ice sculptures.
