For the past 25 years, B-Crafty and her family have built sand sculptures. For the first 13 years (1996-2009) they entered the annual contest in Ocean City, NJ and for the next 12 years they did it on their own, usually over the 4th of July weekend. To celebrate this milestone, B-Crafty and her web-master son, Brian, built the 25th Anniversary Sand Sculpture tribute. The sculpture has a ball roll featured at the top because that is “where it all began” as B-Crafty use to entertain her sons with a ball roll whenever they came to the beach. This was a skill B-Crafty learned from her dad who did the same every simmer. There are so many layers of memories. All you need to do is get started.
Issue #138
Occasion: Beach Time
Category: Sand Sculpting
Materials Needed:
- Sandy beach
- Bucket and shovel
- Blue colored Jell-O
- Spray bottle filled with water (not salt water)
- Imagination
Instructions:
The first task for the building this one is to make a huge pile of sand to be the surface for the 25! Begin at the top to make the ball roll and have it end by dropping down the middle of the front face. Once the ball roll is complete, begin to carve the numbers on the front. The numbers were sprinkled with blue Jell-O and sprayed with a water bottle. Shells were added at the top to indicated the 25 year span of participating in sand building.
