Ice Trouser Cave

June 14th 2011

What better way to kick start our Blog than giving a run down of how we created the new home page header? We had so many positive comments about our previous headers (especially the one relating to a certain body part) that we thought it would be great to continue the idea but move it on a little.

After getting together another million and one anagrams, one phrase really stood out – ‘Ice Trouser Cave’. We knew it needed to involve ice and not knowing a local ice sculptor we decided to search out alphabet ice trays.

Several days later (the freezer box in our fridge doesn’t have the greatest capacity) we had all the letters required.

During that time a tray was constructed for the ice from a black shelf and Lego pieces, sealed in with silicon.

The lights and camera were set up and a piece of time lapse software captured the melting ice letters.
