I was triply inspired by:
1) The Chordettes' incredible 1958 rendition of Pat Ballard's 1954 song Mr. Sandman, here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNUgsbKisp8
2) Tibetan sand painting techniques
3) Jimmy Clewe's synthetic sand
Steps:
Thin CA glue foam-brushed onto slimline tubes
Real colored beach sand sprinkled onto tubes using 3mm pipettes with "near" ends cut open to load the sand - $2.52 gets 100 pipettes (free shipping) look for these on Amazon:
Hot Sale Disposable 3ML Graduated Transfer Pipettes Eye Dropper Set 100 Pcs Plastic
Ranger dimensional glossy accents medium "drawn" onto base layer of real sand - also available on Amazon
Jimmy Clewe's synthetic sand drawn onto the glossy medium using pipettes
Slice of the Moon brand mica powders then sprinkled over all (remember the lyric: "Please turn on your magic beam")
Dried x 2 days, then cast in Douglas Sturgess PR, tube-in mold
Turned and finished as usual:
The local surfers (and other dreamers) are liking this - so more fun ahead.
Happy Wednesday, Bob
