Adapted from wedding designs by other ice sculptors, this is my version of the classic heart and doves ice sculpture design.
This post shows how to carve a beaded bowl ice sculpture from a clear block of ice, as opposed to molding an ice bowl with an ice bowl machine.
My diamond ring ice luge is related to my regular ring ice luge design, but of course, it’s designed specifically for weddings and engagements.
This saxophone ice luge was one of three musical instrument ice luges that I designed for a big event in downtown New Orleans.
To go with the piano keyboard luge, I designed this trumpet ice luge to serve drinks at a very large music themed event in downtown New Orleans.
I redid the design for this piano keyboard ice luge design so that it would match with two other luges for the event: a saxophone and a trumpet.
I’ve made LOTS of brown pelican ice sculptures; this pelican ice sculpture design is a basic version, complete with the expected wood pilings.

This flamingo ice sculpture design is great for live zoo demos and makes for a striking presentation when lit with hot pink lights!
