Tiny Grains of Sand

This morning we spent our time at the beach. There were a few other people fishing, including us, but no one else braving the beach and the cool water. Temperatures never seem to deter the kids from building in the sand. Towers, moats, magical worlds. I remember spending time creating this way too as a kid, and still today.
We have some new inspiration for our beach creations from this Iranian artist; Ahmad Nadalian. He creates these amazing prints using a hand carved tool he has made, then creating a beautiful pattern in the sand. Its been so interesting talking about art in different mediums, the sand wasn't a surface we thought of for art. Definitely worth checking out.
