Text about Sand Art

This is how I got into sand art

I started by watching some one else do it at a festival. You have to call local towns and city halls, in your area to get into the festivals. Small town homecomings, park fest any where there are lots of kids with their parents and their parents money.

You have to find a good place to buy stuff. Sand, colored art sand can be purchased from Estes in the USA 8002482271 if they have a location near you, you can drive to get it. I drive to Ottowa IL it is about 4 hours. White and brown regular sand can be purchased from places that sell bags of cement. Black can be purchased at the cement place but it is called coal slag. I get white brown and black from Behl material on airport road east of 170 in St. Louis, MO

Honey Tree 8009681889 has plastic clear bear jars.

Expanko Cork co 800 3456202 sells corks. Buy #9 corks they fit in coke and clear beer bottles.

Shop and Save sells 8 ounce cokes for 50 cents each. They also sell Bud Ice and Corona. I have had a couple of bars save bottles for me for 10 cents each. This is a OK way to get the glass bottles.

I have supplied Scout troops, schools, company picnics, birthday parties, First Night Riverbend at LCCC in Godfrey Illinois, and various other public events with entertainment. At most, by myself I can service approx 150 customers per hour. If you are thinking about doing this it is a pretty hard job. You have to hall your stuff to the locations. You have others doing the same thing at some of the shows. Some times you get rained out or go to shows that have no customers, but all in all it's somewhat profitable.

This is a Bud Ice bottle with the lable cleaned off making a nice Bottled Rainbow.

Thousands of kids have made these. They still like it in the year 2005.
Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
" Email me and tell me what kind of bottles to bring to first night at LCCC.
I may take you up on the suggestion.

How To Make Sand Art

Just click on any color, then put your cursor where you want that color of sand on the canvas.
Hold down the mouse button to make the sand fall. The longer you hold the button down, the more sand will fall.
If you move your mouse around the canvas, sand will spread out. If you hold the cursor in one place, sand will pile up in mounds.
Click on a different color to add layers.
