Still Life with Ice [Examples for Radio Shows]
Uploaded: August 28, 2009 03:28:59
This mug full of water and ice cubes sat chilling (and expanding) in the freezer too long. As I put it on the kitchen counter, it split in three pieces.
I thought it'd make an intriguing photo subject, but, again, it sat too long ~ and started melting. Oh, well.
Have a cool weekend, everyone!

Can you glue it back? :-)Mary K. Robison September 03, 2009
I wish glue WOULD have worked, Barbara, but the mug's material was a bit too porous for that... Thanks for your friendly comments! #7912003Candice C. Calhoun September 24, 2009
