Welcome to Gaia! ::

Despite not melting the castle, it couldn't be said that Olivia's efforts were far greater. She worked with paper and crayons much better but at least the thing didn't look like slush and seemed to have walls. Upon returning from his short trip, Andrew would find that Olivia was trying to shove in a few of the twigs and carrots into the snow to act as support for the walls - and a little bit of decoration on the outside. Pillars like she had seen in some of her fun books. There was a door dug out in the front for their mascots to fit into... kind of.

And at the moment she was working on a tower in the middle. Olivia glanced up and looked at his finds. "Oooh, that should go on top!" She was referring to the lantern.

Still, these aren't enough. Sure, if she just wanted to make some 'things' out of ice, like an abstract art she could very well do it right now, right here using these items. But no, what she wanted is 'art', 'creativity' and 'outcome', not just a simple pastime. Thus she gathered even more objects-another tomato, some twigs, carrots and some snowballs. Hey, if she were to boil this down Mahlan can already make some minestrone! Wait no, that's icky. Who knows what things has been contaminated these vegetables...

Maybe boiling them for half hour beforehand will do the trick? Nah, still icky.

"La la la, la la la, imma a flower girl, imma flower girl, picking flowers from the field. La la la, picking flowers from the fields." Sang Mahlan as she 'harvested' some twigs and other things. Well this is now enough, silently smiled Mah as she scooped up even more snow and made a pair of snowmans with 'ghost' as model, giving it cute lanterns as main point of detail.

Aha! There were the materials he needed, snowballs and Carrots!

With these in hand, Sludge was able to build a nice little monster snowman.

Why was a certain cold intolerant Dormouse building a Snowman? Well, maybe her mouth still hurt from the Crazy 8 Challenge and she was periodically eating what clean snow she could find to sooth the pain... Or maybe she just loved being able to actually play in the snow. A fairly new experience for the young Dormouse Monster.

Instead of building a Snowman Camilla decided she'd build a snowmouse! First, she rolls a ball of snow around until it becomes about half her height. Next, she rolls another ball to roughly a third of the first ball's size then plops it on the first ball. Finally, she rolls a third ball to about a third of the second ball's size and plops it on the second ball. Now she her base.

Using two of the ready made snowballs and two sticks, Camilla rams a stick into each ball before attaching them to the head to make the ears. Using roughly ten pieces of coal, she makes eyes, a nose, a smiling mouth, and adds three buttons to make a makeshift coat. Finally she needed to make the limbs.

It must have been twenty minutes before the Dormouse ghoul found the perfect sticks for her creation, but once she did she quickly goes and attaches the arms before sticking a bent and knotty branch in the back for the tail! Her Snowmouse was complete!

Check out my Snowman!



Artist Writeup: Smiling happily, Camilla explains to the judge who came to inspect her work just what it was. "Heh, it's a snowmouse! Those are the ears" She explains before pointing to the two snowballs on the head. "And that's the tail!" she says before pointing to the curving stick. Clearly Camilla was happy with her creation. Her quickly swaying besocked tail was proof enough!

Stage 2:

Taking a look at the surrounding Snowmen, it seems her current loot was not enough. A nother search it is.

After getting her spirit uplifted by the delicious pancakes and a perfect gift for this winter...and early spring where eating pancakes with a copious amount of honey will not earn her a curious, judging stares from her peers Mahlan skipped every few steps in her way back to the Dorms. Eh, she passed the Pingu's ice carving booth again...because the time was late, there's few sculptors and moulders perfecting their craft out there. Even the plant spirit, which are resistant to bone-chilling freeze felt the temperature was too cold for her liking. Should she really try and make another snowman in this condition?

No. Art is explosiveness. Art is your emotion's expressed without any pretense. Without script, your creativity will unlock everything you needed to give it a form; spontaneous like a supernova, it appears as a flash. If you left it to die, it will not take form and prosper-

Mahlan decided to went all-out against the cold weather and gathered things to make another snowman. Hey, this is not pre-meal exercise ya know. This definitely not because she gained few pounds from a while back and wanna get slim again, and particularly worried that eating that much pancakes before going to bed will not help her diet program! Eh, someone must've smashed the snowman she made earlier, because she can't found the twin ghosts-all that remains from her creations was the two broken lamps, a twig...and WHO THE HELL PRINTED THEIR ABS HERE.
