Falling Economy ~ Owning A Business

Wed, 31 Mar 2010 18:03:24 -0400

So owning a business in a time when the economy is falling is not always such a great thing. Trying to stay floating can be a very challenging task as many very well know. You work horrible hours and pretty much live at work trying everything and anything that you can to sell sell sell....

We are staying a float by the skin of our teeth. This country needs a miracle. A MAJOR ONE.....We are all drownding in a pool of debt.

What it takes........

Ice.....

Its cold....

Carving ice....

Takes talent.....

Takes skill......

Takes patience.......

Takes know how.......

Takes creativity......

Takes endurance.........

Takes time........

Takes passion..........

Take a cup of each of these and it will get you started in the creative world of ice sculpting. Along with tools of course...........

Taking a someones vision and turning it into a masterpiece from frozen water is a delicate task to take on.........

The ability to please can be difficult work.......

You must love doing it......

You must give yourself to the design.......

It is an art form.........

Like so many things in life, hard work is what it takes.......

Create.....enjoy.....love....live.....ice......

Worlds Competition End

Fri, 26 Feb 2010 17:02:08 -0500

"RISE OF THE SUN"

Vance Huber & Joaquin Quezada have created a magnificant piece of art work at the Worlds Championship Competition in Fairbanks, AK.

The competition ended yesterday at 9:00pm Alaska time. The judging will take place today and the winners will be annouced at 8:00p, their time. We are praying hard that Vance & Joaquin's efforts are rewarded well. This has been a great experience for them and all of us to watch. Ice Sculpting is a great art that not many are able to master. But these two men have proven that they have the talent to create awesome sculptures.

Keep up the great work!

Nationals

Tue, 23 Feb 2010 17:02:18 -0500

The National Competition is over. Vance Huber placed 9th out of all the competitors.

Today they started the next competition, which is a single block two man competition for the Worlds.

The temperature has cooled down a lot for when they first arrived. Hopefully the weather will stay below 10 degrees and provide them with better weather for carving, and help keep the ice from becoming over whelmed with stress fractures.

Keep checking back for more information on the status of Vance & Joaquin competiting in the Worlds.
