In the Snow II

So the next thing I wanted to cross off my snow to-do list was to make a snowman or something.

I went with a bear which I figured you'd appreciate.


It's smaller than I wanted it but this was my first time working in the medium of snow.

    I went to Michigan Tech for college - we used to build huge snow statues every Jan for Winter Carnival. You should seriously check them out, they are fabulous :)

    "He's crying for the environment." Amazing, I literally cracked up sitting at my computer. I got Lost Season 5 for Christmas and am finishing it in preparation for season 6 - can't wait for more Hurley moments!!

    I was so glad when we found out why there were polar bears on the island. I giggled when they had one on the pilot, then never really touched on it after that. At first I just figured the writers thought it was a lame idea, and to just forget about it.

    I like your polar bear. Way "cool". hehe.....Less than a month till Lost. Hoor-freaking-ay:)!!!

    It looks like the rest of the bear is on your hood. That's a good, practical coat for Hawaii!

    Seriously cute. I don't think I'll ever make a snowman again. It's snow bears from here on out. I just need it to stop raining.

    All the best in 2010 bud!

    I tried to make a snowman in my mams garden today with my little boy Oscar.

    We nearly had the body section completed when I noticed it had a great big cat poo sticking out of the top. It was all over my hands as well...Gross.

    Luckily Oscar didn't get any on him, but I'd had enough by then...It was the worlds worst snowman making experience!

    I took his mind off it by going sledging instead...

    He's so realistic - great proportions! I am very impressed! I have been playing in the snow my whole life (31 years) and I can't come close to something that awesome!

    next time, can you build some deranged, Calvin - style snow men?

    Great polar bear, aha. It looks dead hard to make! It's snowing a lot over here, so I made a snowman with my sister which just blew over with the wind. Spent ages on it and all!
