How to make a Heart of Stones in Ice

Someone on flickr asked how this was made. I thought it would be so much easier to post the explanation here. It is really quite simple and very similar to the frozen doilies. Take a metal serving tray. I have so many of these since I collect them and interesting vintage tins from the thrift stores. Lay some sea stones or anything else you like ( nuts, seeds, flowers, leaves.....) in the shape of a heart. Çover with water and freeze. I use that big giant freezer called my porch. When frozen , which I think was about one hour during our deep freeze last week , loosen from the tin by bringing it indoors briefly or bending the metal tray ever so slightly. Voila!! It really is that easy.  Today the temperature rose and the icicles started falling off the roof so we decided to collect some and make a little snow and icicle creature. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

That looks like so much fun. Hard to imagine ice here on the other side of the globe. We're in the middle of super-hot summer weather! (Those ice creatures wouldn't last 10 minutes....)
