- Lucinda Wierenga - Sandy Feet - For many
years my specialty was castles and I can include an incredible amount of detail even on a very small scale -- my
hand-carved "SanDrops" fit in the palm of your hand.
I also create custom centerpieces of sand - a great
alternative to ice. I also have a talent for duplicating logos, names and line drawings in sand. This is a helpful
skill for a sand sculptor to have as most sponsors want to see their names prominently displayed somewhere on the
sculpture. Over the past year or so I have found myself drifting away from castles into new territory for me - figure
and face carving. I do not claim to be the best, but I can compete with the best and not feel embarrassed by the
results. I am newly-excited by the possibilities every time I approach a mound of sand. See: Career

Sculpture by Larry Nelson - This site has several different presentations on sand sculpture. In the Sculpture
Garden you can walk around each sculpture by scrolling to the right; at the end, you can read comments about the
sculpture or walk on to the next. The Image Gallery shows
other images that accent the environment with the sculpture, and in the Library there are pages that show how I make sculptures, and answer many questions. The Library also has catalog
pages for many sculptures, which include images, statistics and write-ups. See: Sculpture
