HI READERS?

1,2.3.... start
did you know what is ice carving?, we can know as a ice sculpture. its same
Ice sculpture is a form of sculpture that uses ice as the
raw material. Sculptures from ice can be abstract or realistic and can be
functional or purely decorative. Ice sculptures are generally associated with
special or extravagant events because of their limited lifetime.
The lifetime of a sculpture is determined primarily by the
temperature of its environment and thus, a sculpture can last from mere minutes
to possibly months. There are several ice festivals held around the world, hosting
competitions of ice sculpture carving
Typically, ideal carving ice is made from pure, clean water.
However, clear, transparent ice is a result of the freezing process and not
necessarily related to the purity of the water
The temperature of the environment affects how quickly the
piece must be completed to avoid the effects of melting; if the sculpting does
not take place in a cold environment, then the sculptor must work quickly to
finish his piece. Some sculptures can be completed in as little as ten minutes
if the carver is using power tools such as chainsaws and specialty bits fitted
to a die grinder.
Ice sculptors also use razor-sharp chisels and hand saws
that are specifically designed for cutting ice.
As various technologies are adapted for use with ice
carving, many sculptures are now created largely by machine. CNC machines and
molding systems are now commonly used to create ice sculptures and complicated
logos from ice. Color effects are also possible by a number of techniques,
including the addition of colored gels or sand to the ice.
