Ice Patterns On My Skylight Window




Having had a week of snow and freezing temperatures I finally managed to get back in my studio yesterday to do a few bits. Here are some patterns of the ice that had formed on one of my skylight windows.
Glue chipping glass can produce a very similar result.
It is produced by sandblasting glass to make a key and then applying hide glue that when dried and adheres to the glass, puts the surface of the glass under such pressure that the glass flies off leaving a pattern.
Its important to keep pets away because they are attracted to the glue which will then also contain fine slithers of glass.
