Sand Art

I actually had written and was going to post this entry a while ago. So get ready for a filler entry!! Ha ha, I'll have to do more of these, just for those special kinda days.

Sand Art


Remember when you could go to a carnival and they would have those booths where you fill plastic honey bear jars with sands. And it was the neatest thing!! Cause you're bear had the fuzzy troll hair... no? Don't remember? Well that's okay, I don't remember having one but my sister did! And you could fill it with all kinds of different color sand! And when the sands layered it created a trippy different layers of colored sand effect. Okay so it's not so impressive now, but years later I found myself buying a sand art kit.


It was a Rose Art kit that came with seven different colors of sand, about five different contains (none of them where plastic honey bear jars with troll hair) and an assortment of color by number picture sheets that had adhesive on them for the sand to stick to. After buying it I did a couple of projects, but got bored of it quick!



Fast forward to seven years after I bought it, still surprised it has hung out with me for that long. Brushed off the cobwebs that had settled on it and opened the kit, four of the containers, 2 color by numbers pictures and the majority of the sand left. Then had the great idea to do one of the color by number pictures, some of the adhesive wasn't sticking too well anymore but I managed. And woo-la, after some spray adhesive and the cutters I now have 16 inchies (would have had more but some where damaged in the cutting process) and 4 twictes, my first set ever!



Moral of the story; don't smoke in bed. Or have fun digging out old art kits and coming up with new uses for them!

*whispers* These are in the available for trade category. Inchies and Twitchies for 100, Alex.
