“Ice Bud” is a beautiful glass gravestone for little Alice – she admired the elegance, beauty and absolute wisdom of nature. The overall shape of the monument is plastic, not constructive or classical, which, in the artist's opinion, better expresses the idea of beauty, delicacy and elegance. At first glance, it may seem like a bud, at the same time hard and fragile, containing the essence of beauty, human joy and the unfathomable wisdom of nature, which Alice herself embodied and admired. In the central part of the monument, the shapes of curved, flat lines of glass are visible, representing the marks left by the skates on the ice, their grace and movement. Ice skating was the expression of her soul - the joy of life and the pursuit of perfection. The shape of the stone was designed with intention and victory in mind, yet retains the gently curved contours of the lines, symbolizing the gentle nature behind every success.
Alice's life details are engraved in the stone with the memorial text: "We leave traces of beauty in the world..."

Shipping and delivery
As soon as the glass memorial is ready, we share photos/videos with you for evaluation, prepare it for shipment and make installation instructions. We survey logistics companies to find and offer you the best delivery option. We can do the survey as soon as we know the delivery address and the exact configuration of the shipment - size and weight. We have established successful cooperation with transportation companies in various countries, but we are also open to collaboration with other logisticians, which you propose and choose! |

Production duration
The production of glass monuments lasts from 30 workdays. It mainly depends on the complexity of the design and the ongoing workload during the particular period. The work volume is usually highest during spring, whereby the production time is the most extended, starting from ~45 workdays. Therefore, we advise ordering a glass monument timely. For example, if you wish to install the memorial in spring/summer, then - autumn/winter is the best time to make the order. |

Granite base and other stone elements
You may choose to develop the granite base and stone elements with your local stonemasons or us. Making them locally will save you the shipping costs, and the stonemasons may prepare the ground and install the base as soon as it is ready. On rare occasions, making the stone parts with us will be the only option. This applies to designs where the stone and glass have to be very closely fitted (e.g. inlay of stone in glass monument or glass in boulder). |
