AHere's one way to do it. You could also use gelatin sheets. http://acaketorememberva.blogspot.com/2013/01/using-isomalt-for-stained-glass-effects.html

AThank you so much, costumeczar! Do you happen to know how to make a watercolor effect in the isomalt? I wanted to make panes of "ice" to construct the ice castle. Could I mix different colors (white, light blue & dark blue), pour them all in & then mix them up?

AYes, as long as the isomalt isn't too hot. If it's too runny it will all mix together, but if you let it cool off and thicken a little you'll be able to control it some.

Know what...I'll do little video for my youtube channel tomorrow with the different colors. I have to make some isomalt stuff tomorrow anyway and that would make an interesting demo.

Here's a link to the video, I know it's a little hard to see but I had to work fast to get the isomalt in the frame before it cooled off too much. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLm2y2ofD2M&list=UUDru9n0gVtJlapF93R1npSw

AGood, I don't have a lot of decent places to film things, so I do them hoping that it's clear enough...

The link is in this thread a couple of comments above. I took it off of my channel and made it link-only because I want to redo it to make it clearer,but you can get to it by clicking the link in the comments above.
