dolphins are noted for being nurturing social animals, so this paired dolphin piece might fit at a seaside wedding, for example.
my double dolphins ice sculpture
updated 4/7/23 a bit when I added to the new site and also realized how sparse this entry was :/
This design was intended for the old (now dead ☠️) NICA newsletter, On Ice, sometime around May 2003, but I’m not sure if it was ever published.
Evidently, I was in a hurry when I first put this together. Normally, you can’t get me to stop writing/talking/rambling on, but I said nearly nothing about my double dolphins ice sculpture design. So I was probably just trying to get it done.
sculpting details
The dorsal fins are cut from the excess ice and welded on (preferably with the aluminum plate welding method). Take extra care with the pectoral fins, as they’re pretty close together. You may also want to carve them slightly larger than shown. This design could be used for a wedding or a Sunday brunch.
I've actually never sculpted this design
I like the design, but I’ve actually never sculpted it. However, at least one other sculptor has, and it looked good, so my design did its job.
