We really love artist Nicole Dextras ice texts series, especially this 6 foot high “VIEW” made out of ice and set out in the landscape and left to melt – a lovely, ephemeral artwork that changes our….view. You’ll find other potent ice texts and installations at her website, along with what amounts to “how-to’s” for making ice words. Dextras builds molds of individual letters out of wood, fills them with water, sometimes coloring them with food colors, and then waits for them to freeze before removing the molds…curiously similar to making a popsicle.

I love your website. It is the first thing that I do every morning over coffee… I am so happy that you are back and up and running. I would like to make a donation so that you will continue to make my days. Can I make it with my American Express card? I have tried before and it hasnt worked… I must be doing something wrong.
