Art on Ice.

Minnesota, the land of 10,000 lakes.
Unless it's winter, and then there's none.

Ice fishing shanties pop up on the lakes each winter,
and I love everything about them,
except for the fishing part.

Luckily, this is Minnesota, so we have the Art Shanty Project.
There's 20 different themed ice houses on Medicine Lake,
(super close to Identity Tattoo)
and Meryl and I spent a few hours there today.



The highlights were the Shan-Tea (hosted by bearded ladies),
the ArtPost Shanty (the world's only post office on ice),
and the Art Swap Shanty (which we swapped some art with).



We're back inside now, of course,
staying warm and working on mail art.
