There is something particularly charming, amusing, about the way that the photographer has framed this snowmen picture.
Lots of images rattle around in my mind. The pictures also make
me want to go out and build a snowman or two and create a similar effect myself.
What a lovely, lingering idea.
This time it the truism of his sign that brings a smile to my lips. But it also makes me sad.
These snowman pictures, are typical of the humour that Will and Guy wish to collect. Simple, yet thought provoking. Every day items, yet fire the imagination to faraway places.
Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul, With a corncob pipe and a
button nose and two eyes made out of coal.
Saddest picture of all - Funeral of a Snowman
For Guy, the snowman funeral was a slow burning joke. At first I did not see the significance of the bucket. Once I realized that it contained the watery remains of their fellow snowman then the
picture became clear.
Unassembled Snowmen

Never miss a chance to build your own snowman. If you are fortunate to get a snowfall, then as soon as it stops go out and build a snowman using the fresh snow. The best way is to make a regular snowball
then roll it in a snowdrift. If it starts getting cylindrical rather than round, just turn it over and roll the other way.
One you have made one round ball, then use that for his head and make an even bigger giant snowball for the snowman's body. The second ball is always bigger than the first because you have learnt the
technique.
Deluxe snowmen have three huge snowballs, one on top of the other as shown on the snowman to the right. If possible get a friend to help you, a second pair of hands is useful for both rolling the
snowman's body, and lifting his torso into position.
There is a second technique for building your snowman, and that is simply to shovel the snow into a big pile, then shape the column into a snowman. This method works well if you have lots of people and
big shovels!
Snowman's Eyes, Nose, Mouth and Arms
For transforming your snowman into human form you need different skills. Traditionally a carrot is good for the nose, surprisingly a banana also works. The problem comes with the eyes, nobody had coal anymore so you have to improvise. Rummage
around for something black and circular for the eyes, stones or big buttons are good substitutes.
Rather than having a bald snowman, give him an old hat. Some people use sticks for the snowman's arms, but this is strictly optional. Talking of extras, use a little imagination and consider sacrificing
an old scarf or even a cracked pair of sunglasses for the good of the snowmen project. I say snowmen, because what's really fun is to make a family of snow statues.
