I Make 7-Feet Tall Snow Sculptures In My Front Yard

I designed a plywood form to create the initial column. Once it ‘sets’ in the form, I take the form off and start carving!

I turn the eyes on a lathe and then paint them

Jimmy!

All smiles!

This group loved to sing. They looked a bit mysterious at night

A late season experiment for next year. I sometimes carve on two sides

The octagonal form I designed to create the original snow column. Once the snow is packed in, the carving begins

The process of creation. It takes just over an hour to carve

Your neighbours must love you, would be really great to have this in my street :) I would like to suggest to change your photography, the HDR shots and high contrast make some of the statues look really fake. The Jimmy photo is by far my favourite because it just looks the most natural.
