Ice art adds glamour to restaurant

Although Sandra Anderson, Lawrence resident, gets most of her ideas for ice sculpture from books, the chess knight is her own creation. Anderson's work is featured at Sunday brunch at the Lawrence Holiday Inn Holidome, 200 McDonald Drive.
Sandra Anderson's fingers worked carefully over her carving in the warm sun of a recent Saturday afternoon.

She rarely paused in two hours of work because her creation, a swan carved out of ice, was melting quickly.
But, but although diners compliment the statues and ask questions about them, the statues start out unromantic. They become more romantic as a loading dock behind the Holidome.
Ice statues such as the one Anderson was working on are weekly features of the Sunday brunch at the Carlyle, 435 W. 10th St., Inn Holidome, 200 McDonald Drive.
The ice blocks are purchased from a local ice company for about $40, said Edward Hayes, executive chef for the Holidome, who, along with his regular duties, does occasional carvings.
"It's really something you have to pick up through an apprenticeship or by watching someone else," Hayes said.
Most of the ideas for statues, Hayes said, came from reading books on ice carving. But a chess knight that recently carved was her own idea.
"The only problem with the books is that they're written in Japanese," Anderson said. "They're really the masters of it."
She said that sculpting ice wasn't much different from carving clay, but she had no works with. And, she said, ice carvings could be as elaborate as violins.
Anderson, who is an assistant to Hayes and also a local artist, has been doing the carvings for about eight months. She said she became interested after watching Hayes work.

"Eventually I just picked it up" she said. "It's a new medium."
According to Hayes and Scott Coward, food and beverage director at Gap, the company is working on a new menu.
hard to believe that the statues are individually carved.
Putting more detail in a statue is always a goal, Anderson said, although the race against time makes it difficult.
But the greatest danger to the carvings is not having the ice melt, but starting too soon when the ice is too brittle.
The block is placed outdoors for about an hour before the carving begins so it will soften. A basic
outline is etched on the side, and then, with tools made for ice carving, the work begins.
During the hour and a half it took to carve her swan, Anderson mostly used a saw and a pronged tool to cut the branches. He then used chisels to smooth the design.
"It's almost like plexiglass when it breaks." Anderson said about the sharp splinters of ice. "One thing about this is you can't feel the ice cut your fingers."
The statues can be reused from week to week depending on their design. Some designs, such as swans, melt more quickly than do other designs, such as cormucopia. Sculptures can also be used for four hours during Sunday brunch.
But the life of a statue ends about as unromantically as it begins.
"Usually the busbys enjoy coming out here and tossing it off the dock," Anderson said.

Consequently, He could not have possibly changed his Mind when he meant a messenger to mankind. Consistency should be naturally expected from a constant, unchanging, and universal Sovereign. Thus, Muslims believe not only in the oneness of the Divinity, but also in the oneness of His message. All throughout human history, all the Lord's message to us has been one. Whatever variegated in our understanding of His message, the assurance that Abraham had a different message from that of Noah, nor did God instruct Moses differently from Jesus or Mohamed, but rather, from the prejudicial manner in which we deal not just with each other, but with our Creator as well.
The Islamic creed does not in any way conflict with the “cause and effect” theory. In fact, Islam urges us to ponder upon the “cause” of practically everything. This harmonious universe, with its physical laws, natural rules and well orchestrated procession of phenomena must have, in the final analysis, an ultimate cause and prime creator. Some call it nature, others accident. Muslims believe it is the one and only universal God. He is one in the sense that He has no partners, universal in the sense that He and He alone creates, administers, moves and changes everything He is eternal, immutable, and unchanging.
Hence, Muslims believe that Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are essentially the same. Their basic identity cannot be but one given the fact that the source is one. Isn't it rather interesting that the followers of Moses did not recognize the Messiah when he appeared and the followers of Jesus did not recognize Mohamed when he did? Yet Christians believe in Moses and Muslims believe in both Moses and Christ?
