Today's sunset:

There were a few sprinkles this evening. Hopefully not enough to get anything real wet.

More carving on the big guy done today:

A picture of the finished face in better light:

I did the ears and shoulders first:

then I did the legs and feet:

After two evenings at babalu's, I got these glazed and ready for tomorrow's firing:

And now for a quick diversion for my friends in cold climates right now:

I had to set up a ski lodge thingy yesterday for a snow themed party, and it included actual snow. Mind you, it was about 75 or so degrees and sunny there.
Here is where we get local snow: the guy wheels ice out of the truck and dumps it in this big old machine

Then the machine makes a bunch of noise and snow spits out of a hose:

All you need is enough ice to cover the whole yard. It ends up just like a real blizzard.

They made a snow covered mountain to snowboard on too:

Add a 40 x 20 backdrop and it's just like being in Maine! or maybe Colorado?

This was actually a surprise party. the lady it was for went away for a few hours and we all snuck in and set up a big old bash. It was a pretty big affair for a yard party. Imagine coming home from the mall and finding all this snow and a band in the yard. For me, it was just like being stuck in those winter storms back east, except that this one had a keg and a caterer!

That was only the third time I was ever in snow, and boy was it fun!

A tropical lagoon and a snowstorm, wood and clay: Just a normal day at the House of Buzz!
