Thanksgiving
weekend temperatures have been hovering between 8 and 10 degrees, the perfect
weather to make ice orbs! When I asked Gus if he’d like to help me make “ice
balloons” he replied “yeah, OK, but they’re gonna’ hurt!” Hahahaha! “Not for
throwing, but for making ice sculptures, silly!” I said. We used food coloring
and added about 10 drops per balloon then filled each balloon at the kitchen
sink. A call from my sister who was working at the hospital on Thanksgiving day inspired me to fill some latex gloves along with the balloons! We only had four casualties, two outside and two inside. We strung
outdoor lights at the base of the orbs and can’t wait to see how they look
tonight. Here is a fun link to making DIY Fire and Ice Lanterns that are cool
too.
