    The temperature today will sure keep those ice sculptures frozen!

    I wonder if any of these artists use other materials for their art?

    @Ciel: it reminds me of the clothing of an Aboriginal woman.

    @Furry Gnome: according to the morning paper it's -29C today.

    @Red: I would think so, particularly wood.

    @Lowell: it is, yes.

    @Sharon: they stand out so well for me.

    @Cloudia: thank you!
