Harrison Hot Springs' Sand Sculpture World Championships

Now art isn’t something that really can be defined, well at least that’s my personal opinion. From paintings to sculptures, museums et al, art is now visible at every nook and corner attempting to make the public know about art. Honestly art appreciation is an inborn talent we all have, and where better to let out the praises then at the Harrison Hot Springs' Sand Sculpture World Championships.

For you and me, sand refers to that natural soil found by the sea and in deserts. What else, well it certainly is great as an exfoliating agent and it feels good to walkthrough sand. What else can I do with it? Well nothing, you know it just slips through my fingers however hard I hold it. But here at the championships the most patient sand sculptors gather and put in hours of hard work to create the best in sand art. Well of course it’ll get washed away and maybe even fall apart, but till then, it’s all about being awestruck.

Driftwood Horses

Ever heard of the great man who ate the horse, he ate the steeple too. Well, next time he’ll think twice. Here’s a lady, who can help you get your first horse. Voila, just what you’ve always wanted to do. But wait a second, where are you going to keep him. Well that can’t be so difficult. He could stand close to the driveway, maybe in your hall or let’s say he can rest in the kitchen garden.

Heather Jansch, lives in England and makes horses. Well don’t get me wrong, but she really does. Here’s her expertise. Give her driftwood and oak, we’re not talking about chopping trees, but let’s collect what falls off the trees. Then you have it all packed of to her studio, well looks more like her backyard. Never mind. Once here she carefully examines dead wood and starts sculpting. And before you know it, there’s a proud driftwood stallion standing in your house. Innovative, isn’t it? I bet you never seen anything quite like this.

Another art of horse sculpturing, using driftwood. Very impressive and 'alive'.
