Looking to experiment with a new type of fused glass? Than try using an experimental new product called IIG for your next warm glass project. IIG stands for Instant Ice Glass and is a revolutionary new way of creating art. Instead of using your kiln you use your freezer to create stunning masterpieces.

Just mix the IIG solution with 2 parts flower, 1 part water and then place in your freezer over night. Before falling asleep concentrate really hard on how you want the piece to turn out. Alpha waves sent via your mind instantly react with the IIG solution and begin to create Chihuly like designs. By morning your new glass artwork should be fully formed and ready to display in fine art galleries across the world..............*sigh* if it were only that easy......happy April Fools.
