Even though Mardi Gras has passed and Ash Wednesday is here, I thought I’d add one more Mardi Gras design. I’ve posted photos of this piece before, but not the design. This piece is similar to but smaller than the first mask design that was added and is carved from a half block slab of ice (40”x20”,4-5” thick)

    The color is added just like snowfill, only the glitter is added from the back of the sculpture and then snow is packed over the color while the piece is lying down. Take special care not to push the glitter around with the snow, otherwise the snow will push the glitter out of the way and be visible from the front.

    Questions or comments about this design can be added at the bottom. 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.

In the template below, the design is reversed and indicates the spots where color can be added from the back of the sculpture. A lot of the front side detail has been removed also.
