Just got back from a great week at the beach with my family. While most people prefer to just sit around and soak up the sun, I'm usually busy attempting some type of crazy sand sculpture. I'm certainly no sculpting pro, but I always enjoy the challenge.
Being a typography geek, I thought it only fitting to create an "amper-sand" out of actual sand.
Forget sand castles, we decided to create a gigantic foot that ended up being about 12ft long! We got plenty of laughs and strange looks from the people walking by.
There's something fascinating about the temporary nature of sand sculptures. Though they do take a lot of time and effort to create, it's also fun to watch the tide come in and wash them away in only a matter of seconds. It takes the pressure off of getting every little detail perfect since the creations only exist for a brief period of time.
