ice carving secrets: “Fishfood!” design
I believe his design was originally published in a newsletter about in late 2004. If you would like to use this design or any other design on this site, please check the design usage guidelines. The design collection page lists designs on the site. Here’s the text from the original design:
“Fish food!,” Dawson List, ice dragon ice sculptures, New Orleans, LA
This lighthearted design is carved from a single block on its side. For the two larger fish, you'll add ice to the top of their fins. For an even more dramatic effect, carve another, larger fish from a block standing upright and position it to the left of this sculpture.
Make the smallest fish a little thicker than the others and make sure to pay attention to the eyes of the fish; the two fish in front should be trying to look back at the bigger fish!


A thinner piece of ice can be used, as long as it’s welded to a base as shown above.
