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

All smiles!

Jay got a smile the day before the big melt
The team from 2013-2014
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.
Thank you for your comment Arjan. I've been thinking about this issue. Your comment confirms my concerns about over filtering...

This is amazingly creative stuff. Well done! It makes me want to try this, except for the fact that I can't stand snow...
I don't know but pictures look so fake. But not sure about sculptures. They are cool.
Ok that confirms that I should use less filtering on the photos. Thanks for the feedback.

You are correct. Shovel. Hard work! Fluffy snow is better. I pack it in and leave it for an hour. Takes less than a 1/2 hour to load it.

This looks kinda photoshopped, but if it's not then they did a good job.
I have learned that I'm using too many filters. Next year more natural. Thanks.

You need to recreate the snowmen from the Calvin and Hobbes series. :) These are fantastic!
