The first time I carved a snowman out of ice, I thought it would be a piece of cake. How hard could it be? Well, it wasn’t too bad, but it was significantly more difficult than I’d anticipated. Properly rounding out the snowballs and getting the hat right are a couple of aspects that took a little time. Later, I added color details to my snowmen, so that their buttons and smiling faces would stand out. All that’s being done here is to freeze a small piece of construction paper or colored plastic behind a slightly larger piece of ice. Finally, when luges became popular, Frosty seemed like a natural choice, especially with his thick arms, so I came up with this version. By the way, if you like to use props with your ice sculptures, Frosty is perfect for them. Instead of carving a scarf or hat, you can easily use a real one. Just make sure to properly size your ice in the case of the hat. This design is somewhat incomplete, because it’s missing the template view. I’ll fix that later, but just understand that if the carving is too wide for the block because of the arms, then you need to aluminum weld additional pieces on so that you can carve them. I’ll fix this deficiency as soon as I can.
