Sodium Acetate + ice scultpures

well after the green festival and the enjoyment i had wathcing the ice melt and the seeds dropping to the floor making variuos patterns along with how the ice melted around the seeds and left a semi solid block of them. i decided to look into ice scultpures that were hung or focused on melting
this is what i found:

this looks like it could be a lot of fun and give some great results.

the form i want to concentrate on first is my hand. I have make some latex molds of 3 differnt shapes so far going to make a few more then start filling with various things and photograph them melting possibly making a short film.
also thinking of candles? chocolate? concreate? resin? its just at the starting points but it could go very far.
