I think there is still time to come up and work at the ice festival up here. ;)

Aren't they neat! I have seen these several times recently. Everyone is sending me emails and stuff. Someone in the market today stopped me to ask if I had seen them.:)
Tell you what though. I am California born and raised. Ice is sooooo cold. Tried it once and it was way to cold for us. And we are much better at sand anyway!
Oh the tools to do it start at around $200.00 a knife. Very $$$$$$$$$$. Our sand tools are simple. Cake decorating spatuals, spoons, trowels, straws,water etc....

Wow I didn't realize it was that much more expensive.

Either way I think you do great work!
