While in Florida, we checked out a Sugar Sand Festival exhibit, “Sandimals,” while on Clearwater Beach.
These incredible sculptures were made from the beach’s white sand. It was held in a huge tent, shaded from the sun, and cool inside.
We meandered through the one-way path observing this amazing and unique artwork. The sculptures were arranged according to the alphabet…like many children’s books: A for aardvark, B for bear, C for cat, etc…and the displays were all different animal types.
It was fascinating.
There was one artist working silently on a dog sculpture, putting on the last touches. It would be fun to watch the whole process…starting from the top down. I’m sure it takes a long time. It definitely takes talent.
It’s hard to remember these are all sculpted using fine sand.
It was really fun to walk through this display of sand animals…an unusual “walk on the beach” experience.
Wow!!! What an amazing display. That had to be fun.
It was fun to see, especially on Gary’s birthday! 😉
This art is incredible. So happy you were able to see this truly creative art form.
It is fascinating. I don’t understand the process and how it stays in place.
It’s certainly fun to look at!
This was fun to see (what we missed!) I bet you know my CA family has participated in numerous contests and often won 1st place with a trip to Catalina Island!
I remember your sister’s family did some sand sculpting.
What fun.
Thanks for sharing. These sculptures are amazing.
Glad you enjoyed seeing the photos.
Wow, those sculptures are amazing! What a fun experience.
It was fun. We had a good time.
