We've had a few good snow storms in these parts over the past few weeks. The kids have been thrilled to have a good bit of time off from school. The most recent storm which ended yesterday left us with 20+ inches.
Not one to waste her free time, artist IJK got to work with the materials at hand.
i could not love this more. i'm kind of sad that it will melt!

Awesome! But I have to say, it sort of hurts just to look at her touching all that snow with her bare hands. :)

Does she know what an amazing talent she has? The impermanence of such a detailed sculpture is very Buddhist- Buddhist monks drew intricate mandalas in the sand even though they knew the drawings would disappear the moment the wind blew. The practice was meant to reinforce the impermanence of life and the importance of not holding on to things in this world.

OMG! I have been inspired! I live in Toronto, and we have also been dealing with more than enough snow. I can't wait to go out tomorrow and make my own little sculpture.

Beautiful! She's got a real gift! I'm envious of all the snow. Vancouver Winters are lovely, but I'm a snow lover at heart!
