For exercise 1, Elaine and I chose to focus on water because the various states it is found in would give us a lot more to experiment with. Our first idea dealt with using wax and watercolours to create the word WATER as the areas covered in wax resist the watercolours or ink. We then scrapped that idea after some discussion, in favour of using all three states (solid - liquid - gas) of water to spell the word.

The first thing we tried was forming the letters out of snow/ice, letting them melt on the stove, then boiling the puddle to create steam.



We may come back to that, if this new idea of ours doesn't work out. Check out this youtube video below to get an idea of what we will be doing watch "instant" hot ice

we ordered some sodium acetate online and we shall be trying it as soon as it comes, which will hopefully be soon... *fingers crossed*
