THE HOBBIT -snow sculpting!

J instructing H on an impressionistic painting

 While he draws up the designs for our snow sculpture

 "Oh look! I can make it a lady dragon! What are those cigarettes Audrey Hepburn has?"

Some final design: An open book with Bilbo peaking around one side and the dragon looking down from on top of the book.

Note the "form" (piece of wood) in the lower left hand corner here. The form was about 7 feet tall -each slab of wood created a side of the box. We filled this with snow-H stamped it down like a wine press-and then left it overnight. This preps the snow for carving.
