Juxtapolemic:
If it were February in a coldish land and you were to take a shovel and really dig into a bit of frozen dirt, well, the contents of the shovel would look remarkably like the contents of our freezer for the past week. Actually, the shovel-full would need to come from nearby a string and/or yarn factory, because the frozen dirty bits were full of that stuff, too. Instead of burying a dead rodent beneath the icy-ness, we naturally decided to hang these frozen bits from the tree of a nearby park. Come to think of it, the string and yarn were perfect for that, as though the idea had been thought of earlier.

It was really fun to watch as Poison Lake used the "scissors of life" to free the frozen bits from their plastic prison, and it was really cold as I carried the Trader Joe's bag full of Ice & Stringyarn to the park. My fingers went numb at least once. When all was hung and done, the ice-ornaments looked quite beautiful hanging from their new arboriciles, this you can see for yourself in the provided photos. We celebrated the completion with a round of merry-go-rounding, and were quite happy, indeed.

Poison Lake:
My idea for this task was to make little hanging, ice encapsulated terrariums, since I happened to have a quantity of dried moss. I was hoping they would freeze clear, which didn't quite work out. The end result had sort of an alien plant life feel.

We went out at dusk, so unfortunately the pictures are a bit dark.
