@byantonlangreiter Artwork 20/30 - ‘Face Off’
This one is ice hockey, and it’s an idea I’ve been sitting on for a while. Someone suggested it way back when I was doing my blue artworks.
But I realised ice is really more white than blue, so I decided to save it for the white chapter instead. Definitely glad I waited, I think it looks so much better this way.
For the design I found an aerial photo of two players waiting for the puck to drop, and I liked the idea of doing the whole thing from above. It’s a bit different to my usual angle. I used light blue and red for the lines around the players.
Ten to go now, officially two thirds of the way through the collection.

Transcript
Building my biggest art collection only using wool, and I've officially reached the two thirds rank, but I've been saving this artwork for 12 episodes. This is my playlist collection where I create 30 artworks featuring 30 different sports. Today is episode 20, ice hold. When doing my blue artworks, I was struggling for ideas and someone had suggested to do ice hold, but I didn't make it and instead did the better polo piece. I realised even though ice could be considered blue, it's more white. This would look way better than my white chapter. I was inspired by an aerial photo of two players waiting for the puck to drop. I built the whole artwork from above, looking straight down at the ice with light blue and red markings around the players. Here it is, artwork 20 out of 30, face off. This is the second of six snow artworks. Follow along to see what's next.
