Transitory art
May. 7th, 2006 09:46 pmI like to make sandcastles. I flatter myself that I'm good at it: I can make sand arches, high towers (depending on the sand), and some very strange things.
sigerson and I once built many of the wonders of the world in sand, as well as some other monuments. (The Coliseum was the coolest, I think.)
That said, I know I'm no master. Especially when faced with The World Championships of Sand Sculpture (courtesy
cincodemaygirl). The gallery is full of beautiful, funny, impermanent sculptures, and the amount of detail puts my crude towers to shame.
The "sea serpent and boy with shovel" is my favorite. Although the nonplussed Viking on Page 2 is also quite nice.
