Ice pop art

Summer heat may get the craving for ice cream going in some, but to kids, it often means that they'll have a chance to get a frozen novelty from the ice cream man at the park. Frozen novelties are the brightly-colored, not-quite-ice-cream creations that kids love, often studded with rock-hard gumballs. They're more likely to call them ice pops, or something to that effect, than "frozen novelties," though they're usually more interested in whether they'll be able to get their favorite flavor or cartoon character than in the name. Artist Meredith Allen was inspired by summer and ice pops, but instead of eating them, she created a photo series of melting pops. All of the pieces are interesting (you can order prints of them online), but you might be inspired to try to take some shots of your own, too.
