Wood and Ice Sculptors in Enumclaw, Washington

Welcome to our blog!

Greetings from Ice Alaska 2009 in Fairbanks.

This year Joaquin and Donna will carve together in the single block competition. We have prepared and practiced since Christmas. We don't want to ruin the surprise with details so subscribe to our blog and watch and see our sculpture evolve.

Starting March 1st, Raul Quezada and Jake Lucas will join us for the multi-block competition. We'll be sculpting a piece entitled 'Alaskan Tradition.' This will be Raul and Jake's first time in Alaska and first time carving big ice.

You can see some of our portfolio pictures in the slideshow on the left of the page; double click on the show to see larger images.

We hope you enjoy the blog and would love to read your comments!

Ice Alaska Day 2/Kids Park

We took a moment to walk through part of the park today and take some photos of the Kids' Park. They make these great slides and tunnels out of the ice - burr - cold bottoms. There are also these bowls that you have to have help to get out of and tops that you sit in and people spin you around. They are hard to get out of too! I climbed in one last year and could have won the "Funniest Home Videos" award trying to get out. Oh! for a video! I just had to take a photo today of one of the faces in the Kids' Park because it look like JQ had posed for the carving. He also posed in the photo-op Eskimo parka. We are having fun! Oh, Yes! In the slide show, notice the other works in process and how they freeze drawings to the ice to aid in the sculptures creation. We will use this method for parts of our multiblock.
