@byantonlangreiter Artwork 21/30 - ‘Into the Ice’ 
40 x 50cm 
Framed Tasmanian Oak The idea actually came from a trip to Norway last year, we saw these massive glaciers and I thought one would make a good artwork. The tricky part was the colour. Glaciers aren’t just white, the deeper the ice goes the more blue it gets. My first attempt I went way too heavy on the blue and it just didn’t look right, so I ended up ripping the whole thing out and starting again. Second time round I kept the solid blue to the deepest parts and blended blue and white together as I worked outwards, so it fades gradually like real ice. Took a fair bit of trial and error but I got there in the end. That’s three of the six winter artworks done. Nine to go overall. If you like this piece, the artworks from this series will be released as a drop at the end of the collection.

Transcript

Is it possible to make an ice climber only using wool where every crack is carved by hand? This is my playlist collection where I create 30 artworks featuring 30 different sports. Today is episode 21. During my trip to Norway last year, we saw these massive glaciers and that gave me the idea to make an ice climb. The only problem was the color. You see, glaciers aren't just white. The deeper the ice goes, the more blue it becomes. To get that icy look, I mixed blue and white wool together and started tufting. This took a lot of trial and error because a lot of the tier, it just didn't look how I wanted it. I was constantly experimenting with different colors until I eventually got it right. So here it is. I'll worse 21 out of 30 into the ice. My next piece is snowboarding. Follow along to see what I mean.
