Happy Sand Sculptors
Just had to get this one up. The parents of this group of happy Sand Sculptors sent this picture in to me from this weekend. They built this happy crab after I left the lesson. This is the group that built the Castle below this post. Hope they come back for SandFest 2008, they are talented.Labels: Sand Castle lessons, Sea Creatures

Memorial day weekend part 1
You can click any of these images and view a larger size then click your back button to return.I posted five more pictures from this group in the blog below this one.
This was a rainy seaweedy Memorial day. I had to cancel several lessons and had a few no shows or couldn't find on the beach this year. Sorry for those that got rained out but try again on your next trip to Port Aransas, Texas. Try August or September, less seaweed that time of year. Also for those that got lessons and I didn't get any pictures please send them to me at lessons@sandrum.com and I will get them posted here or on my lessons 2007 page on my website. I was finally able to get batteries and went back to get pictures of this one group. Wish I could of actually gotten the kids and parents in a photo. They were a fun bunch and very talented.

Start of a fun Memorial Day Weekend 2007
Click on image to view a larger image, then click your back button to return. As happens a lot of times in Sand Sculpting the pictures don't always show the quality of work done. This little girl's family was busy building Sandcastles and she watched me make a turtle in the sand. Next time I turn around she had made a perfect turtle all by herself. She is only 4 years old. Imagine what she could do with a couple of SandFest contest under her belt.
The turtle from the head end. Dad looks on.
This was a fun group from Austin and Houston. They gathered on the beach on a Thursday Evening and made Sandcastles before sunset. Then they were off for a Fish Fry. Man nothing like being in Port Aransas and having fun in the sand and the surf.Labels: Sandcastle lessons

Practice
Went out this weekend to practice a piece I am doing at the end of the month. a sun and a moon.
I am suppose to do a wedding and the sun is the groom and the moon is the bride. Not sure I can do it though. still do not have pics of the bride and groom and sun and moons are more cartoonish than real.
I did this sun based on a work that Vern Cooley did. I didn't add any detail but it did come out better than I thought it would. I also did a moon in a quarter shape that looked pretty good but did not get a photo of it.
