On a beautiful winter day about a week and a half ago, I had a hankering to create another snow creature. Last year was Snofrog, and as I had so much fun with him, I decided to go with another somewhat reptilian choice...
The snow was perfect, the sun was out, and I just really wanted to do something that'd take my mind off my impending doom (forced inactivity for six weeks really IS doom for me...). So, as the plans for Snogopogo had been percolating in my mind for a while now, I decided to seize the day!
<-------My plan. :D
So, after approximately 5 hours of hot'n'not-so-heavy work, Snogopogo was done, all coloured up and everything... :D Good times, yup yup.
Unfortunately, the colour only stayed on Snogopogo for about three hours... It was so warm out that as soon as the colour got sprayed on, it'd just soak in and run in accordance with dear ol' gravity... And although it doesn't look all that big, it was actually about five and a half feet.
Gosh, I'm probably known as the crazy Uni student who plays in the snowbank. *sigh*
Ah well. It's fun!
"The creative person wants to be a know -it -all. He wants to know about all kinds of things: ancient history, nineteenth-century mathematics, current manufacturing techniques, flower arranging, and hog futures. Because he never knows when these ideas might come together to form a new idea. It may happen six minutes later or six months, or six years down the road. But he has faith that it will happen."[Carl Ally]

I love it, snow sculptures are the best! And snogopogo, how original is that? Glad to hear you survived your surgery!! Now for surviving the inactivity (sigh, I feel your pain here).
-Joy-
P.S. My buddy Courtney wants to talk rugby with you (she wrote a note on my blog)
