all the ice sculpture designs on the site, all in one place

One of the most significant parts of the old icecarvingsecrets.com site was the sheer number of ice sculpture designs in the blog. In the old version of this page I had all the designs in one place. I’ve now have that once again with this newer and hopefully more reliable WordPress version!

I think ALL of the design links work now! As I write this, there are 199 designs here! (Had to count more than once to make sure.) I plan to get it up over 200 shortly with some other designs that I never added before.

There are new designs scattered around the list (not tons yet), but most of these ice sculpture designs are from the old ice carving secrets site. I’ve basically added every design that I could find from the old site. All of the designs have now been upgraded/updated at least a little. Later, I also want to briefly discuss how to handle each design with a CNC machine. Only some of the designs have that now.

Last year, I did a series of roundup posts for Fourth of July 🎆, Father’s DayEaster, and Mother’s Day  Unfortunately, I kinda dropped the ball on Valentine’s Day ❤️, St. Patrick’s Day ☘️, and Mardi Gras 🎭.

However, I just recently added small Cinco de Mayo 🌵 and Kentucky Derby 🏇 collections. I’ve also managed to put together roundups for Halloween 👻, Thanksgiving 🦃, the holidays 🎄, and New Years 🥳 But there is SO much to work on still!

Since all the design posts have now been updated a bit, I’ve been prioritizing the pretty daunting task of working on the galleries and all the other non-design posts that are here and those still to be restored 🥴

REMEMBER TO USE SEARCH 🔎 (upper right corner ↗️) IF YOU RUN INTO A BAD LINK!
It’s here; either I did something stupid or it might just be temporarily disconnected while I’m working on things 😬

Huh, somebody DID scroll all the way down to see if there was anything else here! I’ll bet you’re the kind of person that never misses the post-credits scenes at the end of Marvel movies, right?

Well, so far, it was kind of a waste of time. Unless you wanted to find the link for the ice sculpting secrets facebook page. But I am planning to write more about my ice sculpture designs here; I just haven’t figured out what I’m going to say yet :/ You’ll probably be the first to know when I do though! (Since you’ll be the only one to bother checking 🤣)
