ice carving secrets: Tiki head design
ice carving secrets: Tiki head design
When I was very young, I lived on the island of Oahu and my first memories are of the beach. I don’t remember seeing Tiki heads, but that’s probably just as well, because it probably saved me a few nightmares. These traditional Hawaiian statues resemble smaller, wood versions of the Easter Island heads. There are many different designs and I came up with this version for a Hawaiian themed event. Notice that the design is shifted to the left side of the block so that the extra ice can more easily be used for something else.
This design originally showed up in On Ice in 2000. In the same issue was a lobster design that I’ll add tomorrow.
