Ice Cube And Glass Cube

We spent the morning with Jeff witch I sadly missed last Monday, he set us the challenge of making a 25mm cube like of ice and another look like glass, so would see the different between the two. We did some research in to how the industry would do it, the research showed that for the glass they would use sugar glass and for the ice cubes craft beads. I decide to us resin in a mould we started off doing a vac form mould but the seal went on the vac former so we used super scolpe and pushed the cubes made out of wood in them, for the glass we use clear resin and for the ice cube we added more catalyst in to make it slightly cloudy and some strips of fibre glass to give it a sort of cracked look, we will open them tomorrow and see how they look.
