Very cool, Brandi!
How do you get the sand to hold its shape so well? Is it just sand and water, or it there more to it?
I must say, you must have a lot of patience to do something like that. I can hardly frost a cake without losing control.
If you can read this, take a pull.

We do just use sand and water and we compact the sand. Also not letting anyone touch it really helps!

That looks great. LOL about not touching the sculpture. I cant imagine how hard it must be to stop the public touching. DONT TOUCH signs seem to be a magnet for people that just cant help themselves but do just that.
Good luck with your trip to Montana and all those roving hands.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

AK, my control is gone right after I make the frosting, sometimes it all doesn't make it to the cake

Brandi, that stuff is incredible. I can't imagine what it must be like to be able to create stuff like that - but also to know that it won't last a very long time.

Thanks everyone. I really appreciate the praise! But it is just a job. I get pretty tired of the travel stuff but at the same time I know i am blessed to be doing something like this. I just get tired of always having to be creative. It is hard to do it day after day till the job is over. But again I don't want to complain. I am very lucky! And the people I meet are what really make it all worth it! i have some great friends all over this country. It is pretty awsome!
