their say, All of the above reasons for the snow are Dot correct, With that flat statement we come to another important factor in snow sculpture—imagination, Without imagination not only are you apt to be hypercritical of the snow but you also stand a. very good chance of not having a snowman like Herbert.
Need Plenty of Space IN ORDER to create Herbert, I selected the open area behind the American Legion headquarters on Meridian st. For a snowman the size of Herbert plenty of space is necessary. His torso required a straight snow roll of about 30 feet. When the roll was completed the beginnings of
As the layer of snow is picked up during the roll, cut the jagged edges even by running the fingers against] the edges with each forward thrust, Well-shaped . shoulders should be the result, Next comes the head. A snow cylinder is not the answer, A plain snowball usually fits the bill but be careful you don't make it too large. A good idea is to step back about 15 feet and get the right proportions in your mind before you start the head. After the head is completed go back to cylinders for arms. It's best not to try to be too fancy with their position. Straight up and down, fastened to the shoulders and the hip is the way I do it. At this point the artistic touch is necessary. With your hand in a fly-swatting position start forming and cutting contours in your snowman. I have found |, a brisk chopping motion is most effective, Be careful not to chop too deep. It'z better to be careful than sorry you whacked off the snowman'’s bay window, : During your chopping anid molding step back every few minutes apd study what ‘you have done.” Remem-{ ber, you're an artist. ¢

THE FINAL step is the placing of dccessories to add realism to your art. An old hat, pipe, buttons, toupee, set of discarded false teeth add much to your subject. | In order to give Herbert that “up-to-date look” I! put an edition -of The Times under his arm.
