Well...Alice... here's hoping it gets as cold as you'd like it ... for your frost photos... getting the right hide glue [ Hide glue was made from fresh animal skins.. often rabbit.. and boilded down to the sticky adheasive ] might be the more difficult part of making your own glue chip glass.. then the sand blasting to give it some tooth for the glue to work.. you'll have to experiment to find the right ammount of hide glue to use to get the flaking paterns you desire.....
I was studying process a while back.. just in buying it for a project... here's a photo of some I used to glaze the 15 light door into the bathroom here....pictures of the glass can be done at 81*F as I'm running inside the building today..MMMMMMMM no pleading for cold here..
