What kind of idea had crossed my mind, when I signed up for entering the “Ice & Snow Sculptures” category of the Winter Expo! Once the first wave of “Yayh! Now I’m gonna build!” passed, I found myself there in Zermatt, looking at the little parcel I had just grabbed… and then arose the blank page anxiety syndrom: what the hell was I going to build there?!

Sure, I first placed the limits of my plot (as it’s under the ice, it was the best way for me to know where it was and not build on the neighbors’ land), however my problem wasn’t solved after that. Signing in for a plot was all nice and well, but if it wasn’t to build anything on it, then there was no point. Worst thing being that I actually wanted to build… I was just lacking the ideas.

Thus, I did what I tend to do when faced with said blank page – I switched to automated mode, and started to drop plywood prims on the ice, in order to toy with them a bit. Don’t ask me what crossed my mind as I was doing so, though, because the current result somewhat puzzles me. Nevertheless, I’m quite content with how my little “scene” turned out… for the moment, at the least.

Will I end up tearing it down and building something new in place of this? I don’t know yet. Time will tell, I guess.
