Description Thursday after Christmas, we had a lot of snow.... the good and sticky stuff!

So I set out to build a snowman. Strife suggested that I made my persona, so I did that - while Strife helped me collect snow for the details and stuff.

The eyes are made out of wood, so that they wouldn't get soggy or eaten xD

Unfortunately we never got to finish the bottom part, because it stated thawing the next day T___T

But hey... it was fun. My first snow sculpture... of sorts ^____^

Oooh, so awesome!
Nice details, those take time and frozen hands.

I used to make snow sculptures at school...
Then the other kids would either ruin it, or try to "help" me with it. >.>

I never had a big enough yard to be able to make one at my house. XD

Come to my yard. It's large... <_< and I have the milkshake xD

They didn't appreciate fine artz.

Yay, milkshake! ^__^

Ohhhhhh, that's too cool! That snout is majorly impressive, what with snow being so fragile and all.

:< I wish I could play in the snow, but I'm always down in Georgia in the winter. Puu.

Awww... that's a real shame, Komo. I bet you could've made some impressive snow-sculptures yourself ^^

But thank you. I used kitchen knives and pencils to make the snout xD

Ha, that's fantastic! xD You did a beautiful job on the face; I remember trying to smooth out snow into some sort of recognizable shape and having it fall apart in my hands. The whiskers are awesome, too. x3

Leoness In reply to tamia-shade [2008-01-02 23:23:06 +0000 UTC]

Why thank you, Tamia!

Yeah, it's gotta be the real sticky snow for it to work out. ^_^;;

The whiskers are made out of little twigs that I had Strife hunt for xD

That looks amazing, Leoness! ^_^ It's such a pretty sculpture.

I've never been anywhere that had enough snow to make a sculpture that large; most snow I've had experience with was slushy, or sparse. We did recently have a frost though, which turned everything a beautiful frozen white. :3

Thank you so much, Nut ^_^

It was the first time since I was a little kid, that I've experienced so much snow of the good kind xD
Frost is beautiful indeed. Especially on the windows

But...where's the hat?
Great sculpture--well done, both of you!
The snow here is just powdery, no good for making anything.

Leoness In reply to frazeocity [2008-01-02 23:09:28 +0000 UTC]

I did put the hat on at some point... but it just looked weird because the hat was so much smaller than the head xDDDD

And thank you, Frazy ^^

WHOA! That's amazingly good! I work with clay during ceramics and my hands can't do anything when they're cold. That's pretty durn good if you ask me. d-(^_^)z

Why thank you

Trust me, you get warmed up pretty good just by rolling the three main balls for the main figure. That exercize should keep you warm for the details for quite a while... I had to take off my gloves at some point, because I was getting so hot xD

My mother and my relatives were really impressed by our sculpture. Mother took a picture of us standing next to the Snow Leo, and she said that she would try and get the photo into the local newspaper. That would be really cool!

It was really fun making this with you. ^___^
