Then maybe the sculpture should be just ice! Seriously, though, think of all the talented sculptors in the world who would jump at the chance to take on this project. I appreciate the work the Beside Herself committee is doing, but maybe the cart is being put before the horse here as far as trying to get an artist's rendering of the piece at this point. Maybe efforts should be put into trying to find the right artist first? Are there PR channels within the working artist world -- such as magazines or newsletters or web sites -- where the committee could announce its intentions and seek interested sculptors who might want to submit a plan? Just trying to help . . . --Bob BTW, I love your ideas, Debra, and Michael O's and some of the other thoughts that have been put forth. (Sorry I don't remember who the other contributors were, but I've barely had time to read Joni mail these last few days.)
