UK-based artist Petra Blahova, created this stunning typeface, entitled “My Garden”, by freezing colorful flowers and fruits in alphabetical ice cubes. The whole project is inspired by the flowers all around when the artist walked home from work one day. Using everything from greens and ferns to flower petals and berries, she meticulously arranged them to fit the contours of each letter and create the tactile project. Speking about the project Petra said, “You can create typography from anything!”.
I don’t know if these ice cubes can actually be used to chill out drinks and stuff, but if just for display, I think it’d have been more interesting if she had stuck to either ice cubes or plants…I didn’t recognize these were either if it was not pointed out in the title; just looked like decorated plastic blocks. Perhaps the result would have been better if it was less “busy”, with plants more sparsely used? And a little irregularity to the blocks would help too, like allowing them to melt a bit before taking pictures.
