I think I remember when I started sculpting ice...it's been so long! ;) Since then, I've done some sort of ice sculpting activity or another in half the states in the U.S. and 10 foreign countries. I used to have a Guinness World Record in ice sculpting and I once very nearly won a world championship. I have hundreds of ice sculpting friends and acquaintances at this point, which makes for an interesting view of our little blue planet.
