But first I want to give you an A++ for being so creative to use frost to paint frost and thinking of frosty windows for this :) Just amazing and fun and well painted, too.

It brings out the detail freak in me. :)<br /><br />The results for the frozen watercolours seem to be better the colder it is. I've had my best results at -5 or -6C so far. I'm waiting for it to get colder for better results or at least different ice patterning.<br /><br />Ginny, yes, probably was some squirrel who took the paper and is chewing up my lovely piece of watercolour paper to line his bed. <br /><br />I did try a small piece in my chest freezer and it didn't turn out well, but the freezer I used isn't all that cold. Well it freezes but its not a very low temperature, if that makes sense. You could try it and see how it turns out. I will try another piece in a colder freezer and see what happens. Perhaps we can compare notes.Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-24337694978045044872010-01-02T22:54:30.132-03:302010-01-02T22:54:30.132-03:30You did two versions and one disappeared?
