SA国际影视传媒淲e were so happy,SA国际影视传媒 Tetreault said after the teamSA国际影视传媒檚 frozen fungi forest was selected as the top entry. SA国际影视传媒淲e worked so long on it, it was so fun.SA国际影视传媒
Despite the carving process going smoothly, it was a time consuming task for the triumphant trio to ensure everything was ready prior to the voting period, March 15 to 20.
SA国际影视传媒淏ecause it was so elaborate, we were taking off a lot of the snow from the big chunk, and moving it around, and making it like a 3D sculpture,SA国际影视传媒 said Tetreault.
Their winning creation didnSA国际影视传媒檛 remain exactly as planned for long.
SA国际影视传媒淭here was like two mushrooms that we had that were a little bit smaller and they kept getting broken and people kept jumping on them all the time,SA国际影视传媒 she said. SA国际影视传媒淪o like even before the competition was kind of over, we had to say goodbye to a couple of mushrooms.SA国际影视传媒
The idea to carve a fungi forest out of a snow block was something that was inspired at the last minute.
SA国际影视传媒淲e had a few ideas that we were thinking about doing before that,SA国际影视传媒 said Tetreault. SA国际影视传媒淏ut I had been working on the (snow) castle all month, like carving inside it, and so kind of near the end when the competition was about to start, I really wanted to try something a little bit more difficult and really push myself this year.
SA国际影视传媒淪o we came up with this more elaborate idea,SA国际影视传媒 she said. SA国际影视传媒淚SA国际影视传媒檓 really into mushrooms and it just kind of came to us.SA国际影视传媒
According to the teamSA国际影视传媒檚 calculations, their snow carving took close to 45 hours to complete.
Tetreault said she would love the opportunity to tackle more snow carving challenges as they arise.
SA国际影视传媒淚 am so into it now,SA国际影视传媒 she said. SA国际影视传媒淚 just had such a blast doing that.SA国际影视传媒
