Fantastic and beautiful!! A woman after my own heart. Love it
They look amazing. Have you put frozen jeans out as well?
LMAO!! Did you do this?! Way to one-up us, there sweet @dibbles! I transplanted from Chicago and immediately thought of this unnerving and provocative sculpture installation that we affectionately call "The Legs":
I've made ice lanterns before, but no - I didn't do the frozen jeans. It's a 'thing' though, and I've seen some displays on the local news with the cold stretch of weather we've been having. People have to do something to amuse themselves 
I'm honestly not that clever, but I am easily amused. That sculpture is interesting.

Yes, "interesting." I'm not an art expert but this installation is really powerful. The artist said she wanted people to feel uncomfortable, and it works, I'm totally un-nerved in the middle of 10 feet high legs!
A local foundation annually puts on an annual outdoor art exhibit of ice sculptures and candles that is like miles long on a frozen lake (which totally freaked out these new residents). It's stunning to see the creativity, and these lanterns line the entire pathway. This year, they cancelled it because IT WAS TOO COLD!!

Interesting... I didn't think Minnesotans ever put the word "too" in front of the word "cold."
Oh yes, one of our favorite things is to commiserate about the weather being too cold or too hot.
Very very cool!
We don't generally get cold enough here (near London, UK) to make things out of ice. As pretty as those lanterns are, I'm quite pleased about that. I grew up in a warm country and the first snow after we moved here was a slight shock to the system!

So I recently moved here after a lifetime in Chicago. One cherished practice there is that after people dig their car out of a snowdrift following a blizzard, they call "dibs" and mark their private spot on a public street with all kinds of stuff like trash cans, toy kitchen sets, lawn chairs, traffic cones, etc. I just read a news story that one guy is marking his spot with frozen jeans!! LOL
