World Championship of Sand Sculpting

If you like to see some wonderful sand sculptures then now is your chance! The 2010 World Championship of Sand Sculpting has come to a close, but the works of art will be on display in Federal Way, Washington, until October 10th, 2010.

The World Championship started at September 8th and artists competed for the top title in three categories: solo, double and teams. I am not going to tell you who the winners are; when I look at the projects then they are all winners!

You can find a slide show online of all the sand sculptures and when you take a look at each one, keep in mind that those projects had to be completed within just 6 hours.

Should you wonder what kind of materials and equipment they all used: here is a small selection of all the tools.

The sculptures are sprayed with a mixture of water and glue to keep Mother Nature from tearing them down on short notice, but eventually they will not be able to stand up to her.

If you have the time and the opportunity then I would recommend you go and see the exposition. You may not be able to get another chance any time soon!
