You’re facing a 300 lb. block of clear ice that you have to make into something. The only problem is that you’re having trouble fitting all of the subject into the block. Fortunately, you don’t have to fit it all in 40 inches by 20 inches. By thinking outside of the block and properly adding ice to the edges of your design, you can create a much more effective sculpture without much additional effort. For example, if you have to carve a person, sometimes it’s easier to add another piece of ice to the top of the block for the head, rather than try to cram everything into the block.
