Winter Tintypes?

My body Rob and I are working on a gallery submission titled "Winter". I took 4 or so photographs last year that I liked enough to add to the submission but I am thinking of going in a new direction. Why not make winter tintypes/ambrotypes around my home? I need to within 5 minutes of the darkroom before the plate dries, so cannot venture to far without a darkbox. I could do 8x10 plates of things I find near my home, snow, trees, ice, details of things that speak of "Winter".

I will probably continue with the straight film stuff but I think it would be fun and good practise to also do my wet collodion versions on the theme.
