This ice sculpture design was posted on the Facebook fan page some time ago without much description. For the sculpture above, the design below was used, but with a couple of important differences. The seahorse itself was carved from a 4-5” thick slab of ice. A stabilizing base, approximately 20”x10”x4”, was attached during carving and is not visible in the photo. Also, additional ice was added to the sides of the neck for the pectoral fins, so that they would extend out slightly from the main body.



The intent of this design was to present a strong and dynamic silhouette for the piece and the base of the sculpture is angled so that it breaks the confines of the block. When all was said and done, the client loved the piece and I look forward to my next opportunity to sculpt it.
