Many times heart ice sculptures are engraved with the names of the bride and groom. This piece instead has a spot for a small floral arrangement in the heart.

This design was originally published in a newsletter about July 1999. 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:

Heart and Doves by Dawson List, Ice Dragon Ice, New Orleans, LA

This version of the popular piece changes the positions of the doves and uses the center of the heart as a spot for flowers.



The pose of the doves is a little more dynamic and a thinner slab of ice can be used (but you may need to add a base for stability). When I worked in Memphis with the CNC machine, I had planned to add this design to the CNC library* as I think it would work well. The sculpture is also very lightweight and easy to handle with the center removed.
