Ok I know it has been a while! I have just been working my butt off. I have not been on my poor bike for almost two months now. She isn't going to know me when I finally do get to ride.
Hope you enjoy the photo's. We don't finish this project till the 29th. and yes they are cows surfing. Cowabunga!

Your work is amazing! And the surfing cows are wonderfully whimsical. My 3 yr old saw the pictures and started giggling while making moo sounds. I'd say she appreciates your work too.:D
Those cows are cute! I don't know how you get the sand to stay up like that. It looks like it could all come sliding down in an avalanche. I hope you get to ride your bike soon.
Great work!

Great stuff Brandi! The cows are awesome!
the cows are whimsical and as always amazing work.
But the part I appreciate most is the attention to detail given the wave features.
Well done, Brandi!

The new pic's are just as awesome! It is so amazing to think that it's sand.
Sheesh! I need to print these pics out and send them to my great aunt the artist. She will surely appreciate what has gone into it.
So cute! I wish I had time to go out there to see it in person.

Oh WOW.....................absolutely fantastic.
I have never seen anything like these before, apart from little itzy bitzy ones.
Do you have a website with more of your fabulous work?
Just thinking of all the smiles you put on faces as people walk past your work.
Must be a real bummer when it rains! :confused:
Thank you for sharing.

www.sandscapes.com for those of you who want to look. The web site is old and will be revamped this winter. My hubby and I took over the business in May so we need to update a lot on it. Thanks again everyone for your support!

Funny you ask that. No My dh and i were not there but our friend and Sculpter from Saint Luis who is helping here was. He has sculpted with us for years. He didn't win though.
Brandi those are fantastic! I love all the little vignettes you've got happening there...and the expressions are priceless!
Hugs and butterflies,

Awwwww, thank you! We are having fun with them! Normally when we do cow's they are doing farm stuff. This is very different.
Butterflies to you too

it totally gives new meaning to surf and turf. (okay so I skipped my breakfast today).
I have to share your photos with my friends and my nephews.

Hey Brandi, I did come yesterday. Sorry I missed you but I'm glad you had a day off. I left a little note at the Administration Bldg. Just so all of you reading this know, the schulpture is located right inside the main gate. Everyone walking in is just awestruck by the schulptures. Tons of people just stare at it and say "how do they do that; is it really sand?", etc. Then everyone takes pictures of each other with the schulpture as a backdrop. I got some pix, but haven't downloaded them yet. Totally amazing!!

Finally got to meet Brandi and her DH (DH is big time mtbiker). The sand sculptures are really amazing in person. We really had a great time Brandi. Also visited the petting zoo and wanted to take the baby goat home; just the sweetest litttle thing. (For some reason, I can't upload my pix.)
