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!

Multi-Block Day One

We are off to a great start. Not quite as far along as we hoped, but the ice is fracturing. We had to scrap a block, but can request one replacement. The second block we set-up in the same place fractured on a diagonal. This piece is the bottom 6 feet of a 12 foot totum. If we stacked the second block on top of it, it could all slide off down the slope of the fracture line. We salvaged enough ice from one of the blocks to make two dogs. I'm on that! JQ was going to block for me, but he is needed on the longhouse wall, so I did it myself. I need to go to sleep now, I am really beat! Good night. Donna
