a calla lily ice sculpture can be a nice addition to wedding receptions and other special events.
updated 7/5/23 with largely seo stuff and some editing, but also some actual new info too!
my calla lily ice sculpture design
This single block design was originally published in a newsletter sometime around March or April of 1996. (Holy 💩, that was a long time ago!) Here’s the text from the original design:
“Calla lily”
A Springtime design from Dawson List of Ice Dragon in Albuquerque, NM
Using the large leaves to support the stem and “flower” of the lily, this piece might be suitable for Easter or Mother’s Day. The piece in the center of the flower is carved separately and welded on.
(In 1996, I still lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I didn’t move to New Orleans until 1998.)
The side view of this design is not particularly accurate and should only be used as a guide and not as a template. When you carve this design, you should keep in mind how long the sculpture will be displayed and carve the design thicker if necessary. For a shorter or colder event, the design could be carved as drawn. Caution, experience, and skill are required for a delicate version of this design. Somewhere I have a photo of a calla lily that I carved and I will add it to this entry when I find it. (OOOH, OOOH, see below!!!)
THIS is a calla lily ice sculpture that I actually sculpted fairly recently (relative to the 7/5/23 update anyway). I can’t tell you much about it yet, because it may end up in a MOVIE and said movie is so far unreleased. So it’s a SECRET. And actually, there should be some secrets about ice sculptures on a website called ice sculpting secrets, so I’m good with that 😜
If you have any questions about my VERY old calla lily ice sculpture design, email me or comment below. (It might not let you though.) If you would like to use this ice sculpture design or any other design on this site, please check the design usage guidelines. The design collection page lists designs on the site.
You might also find photos and info from this entry on the ice sculpting secrets Instagram account and you can comment there as well as below. Thanks!
