ezeart's ice dunnys
... and so you're having a leisurely stroll down a city street in Sweden, and you come across a sliver of puddled water ... have a care and see where the water-trail leads back to, becoz it might just be from a melting "Ice Dunny"!
created by Swedish artist Ezeart, these 8"-er Dunnys are casted out of (literal) ICE = by filling up the Dunny-molds (the box's internal plastic-Dunny-holder) with water and putting them in a freezer, after which the frozen-Dunny is removed and a knife used to smoothen the mold-edges ... and they are then left standing all by their lonesome, at public venues, day and/or night... (one man's personal toy collection, turned public/street "art", IMHO)
depending on the weather, they melt between 4-6 hours (as Ezeart/Fredrik mentions via/source) - but come winter, Fredrik plans to use different colors, and with the cold weather, maybe they'd stay "intact" long enough for you to bump into one, yeh? *heh*
peep more Ice-Dunny images @ Ezeart's flickr-stream or "tagged" HERE = *coolness*
(cheers for everything, Fredrik - and happy ice-dunny-making!)

That's great! I totally tried this with my dunny package, and it's not as easy as it seems! Good on him for making a bunch!
ReplyDeletewhat didn't work out for you Anonymous? would lurve to see pics of what you did tho :)))) - PM me if ya want, yeh? cheers :)
ReplyDeleteezeart here, nice to hear that you liked my ICE DUNNYS. it´s not that eze that you could think it would be to make them. a could tip is to have them in the freezer for about 10-15h and you should do one piece togheter. first step is to freeze the frontside. When that is done you fill the other mould(backside) with water and put the front over it and put it in the fridge, when that is done use a knife to smooth the edges
ReplyDeleteThen the ICE DUNNYS are ready to hit the STREET.
i wish you all dunny freaks good luck!!

cheers for the tip, ezeart! 10-15hours? *yikes*
ReplyDeletecan't wait to see your colored-ones, Ezeart! - maybe you could freeze another small 3"-er ice dunny inside (of a different color) - so when both melts, their colors will merge and blend :p
Genius idea- I love it!
