each year, esther sets out specially made trays on their balcony, where ice gathers in thin sheets during the winter. before the ice has fully hardened, they add colorful dyes to the ice, so that when it hardens, the ice resembles stained glass. they carefully cut and insert these pieces of ice into metal frames to give them as gifts to their friends. it's been a passion of theirs since they were very young, and it took many years of practice and patience to perfect their method, but the result is always worth it in their mind.
