Now here's some wild ideas I thought of and thought I'd share with everyone.
One is a fansite of different spheres made and my 'Big Idea'
First let's start with my Big Idea......
Sentinel Ice Spheres instead of ice cubes.
In japan they have a ice sphere maker that makes perfect ice spheres, with adding two slots for forks molded seperatly and inserted afterwards I think we can all make Ice sentinels for our favorite drinks.
I will provide 2 links that I found, one is the ice sphere maker and the other is a Phan collection of phantasm spheres that are well made. Put the two together creativly and everyone can have fun.
even with out the machine you can still find sphere molds in many places.
Distilled water works best for clarity....or some say anyways, better than using tap water as that will leave streaks.
users choice really.

I think it would be fun to make Phantasm Ice sentinels for drinks or display.
I'd like to see what if anybody can do with this and maybe post their pics of their ice creations. when I get things made I'll make some and share some photos after when I can.
The blades would have to be a custom made non-toxic mold for those. as long as the sphere has slots for them I don't see why this can't be done. comments,suggestions...
Here's a quick render of what I mean, when I make a real one I'll post a pic.
Twin.triple or slicer,maybe even an eye....
Have fun!
