RE: Cool Carvings - ice sculpture (Documentary)

in #art7 years ago

I like the sculpture that you got in final. But I must say, you are just crazy guys!
For me, even -10C is a good reason to not leave home without an urgent need. And when I saw you (or that was not you?) putting the hand into the water, when the temperature is something close to -20 around in the air ... You must be love your work very much:)))

Thanks Erika. The lowest temperature we recorder was -36c. I have to say it was pretty hard and you had to keep moving or you would freeze. I hate wearing gloves when I work but I soon realised that with ice it's a necessity. I have had a few near misses with frost bite over the years but have discovered better gloves and better shoes. I was amazed that the Nomad girl I talked to showed me her boots from Reindeer skin, she also only had a thin pair of socks and she swore that they were enough. I really should have bought a pair.
