Literally, Yuki Daruma
| Oh shoot, I didn't finish that top kanji. It was supposed to be 福. |
But that's not really important. What's important for now is that the Japanese word for "snowman" is "yukidaruma". "Yuki" means "snow" and a "daruma" is a traditional doll that, like Weebles, wobbles but doesn't fall down. But daruma are more egg-shaped than two-balls-on-top-of-each-other-shaped, so that's why I decided to make an actual yukidaruma; a daruma made out of yuki.
Check out how mediocre it turned out! Even so, I worked hard on this thing, so its mediocrity isn't gonna stop me from sharing it.

| Building a daruma out of snow also exemplifies the Buddhist idea of impermanence. |
