Early Texas Freeze

  Every year, in the fall the Gaylord Texan Resort brings in thousands of pounds of ice, a crew of ice sculpting artisans from Harbin, China and creates a frozen wonderland. This year the theme for Ice! is a Charlie Brown Christmas and the creators are taking full advantage of the capabilities of coloring ice in the design. Using chisels, chainsaws and scrapers the creations are amazing to see

Chainsaws make great cutting tools for large blocks.

Ice can be clear or an assortment of colors.

With layers of color and clear ice, an entire room is created.
