We made this great video to show you just how to make your very own round ice cubes using an Ice Ball Press! You can order pre-made ice balls or buy your own Ice Ball Press from us and crystal clear ice cubes to make your own!

That’s right.. we proudly announce that Justin Cox, with his partner Alex Eloftson, won the 10-Block Competition with their sculpture “All Aboard” at Lake Chelan’s 2012 Winterfest Fire & Ice.

Let’s not also forget about the great 2nd and 3rd place sculptures – “Lake Serpent” by Larry Pratt & James Royal; and “Real Vintage” by Ken Harper & Steve Buzak, respectively.

Old Mother Nature is lending a hand and providing some true wintery weather for us right now. Many are probably feeling terribly inconvenienced but we’d like to offer a nod of the hat at the ice and snow we deal with every day at the ‘office’.

Winterfest at Lake Chelan is too cool for some, while the rest of us live it up in the lap of icy luxury!

And don’t miss out on the video -

The Ice Throne is beginning to show its beauty at the Lake Chelan Winterfest Fire and Ice Festival!

There are many, many more – but here is a quick grouping of some of our many centerpieces… enjoy!

Will we see you there? We sure hope so! This fantastic winter festival at Lake Chelan runs the first two weekends of January and promises great food, great fun and great people! The Seattle Times figures it is the perfect excuse to escape the city and we have to agree…

“Itching to get out of the city? Plan now to unwind after the holidays. If you’ve only ever been to Lake Chelan for summer swimming when the place is hot and hopping, here’s an occasion to see the wintry side (with some Arctic-oriented activities).

“Why leave town: Because as nice at it is to sip eggnog in an overheated house with visiting relatives from Ohio, everybody needs to decompress

“What’s going on: Lake Chelan Winterfest

“When and where: The first two weekends of January (with the most activities Jan. 13-15), in and around the town of Chelan and its 55-mile-long lake (third-deepest in the United States). Also in the neighborhood: wineries of the Lake Chelan AVA, the state’s newest American Viticultural Area (think mulled wine).

“What’s special: Ice sculptures by international artists (carving 2 tons of ice), lots of live music, wine walks, an ice lounge, wagon rides, a Soupfest, the Fire and Ice Parade, a polar-bear swim, giant bonfire on the beach and fireworks.

“What to expect: Views of snow-capped buttes and frosty orchards. Breaks for skiing or tubing at nearby Echo Valley ski area (www.echovalley.org).“

We will be there per-usual sculpting away, just keep an eye out for Steve sporting his famous (or infamous!) fur hat straight from Alaska… watch the video below – can you spot us carving ice throughout?

The New Year is a time for resolutions and new beginnings – one predictable thing about it is that it happens every year, and every year Creative Ice has been creating amazing sculptures to help celebrate it!
