As it was slow at the office I took an unexpected day off two weeks ago. Those are often better than planned days off IMHO
The girls and I went to see the Sand Sculpture Festival in Noordwijk, and decided to get there early before it got too hot and too busy. I saw pictures of sculptures from previous events, but never imagined the impact it would have on me, seeing the sculptures live. They are A-MA-ZING! Such detail, it’s almost impossible to believe you can do this with sand.
I think it’s safe to say we all made sandcastles when we were kids, and we all know how easily the collapse. These sculptures - the theme was Disney - have holes in it, tiny creatures, bricks, magical stars and lots more, not to mention the likeness of the characters, it’s just unbelievable! If there’s a Sand Sculpture Festival in your neighborhood, be sure to visit, you won’t be disappointed.

I had so much fun creating this stained glass image! In fact, I’ve already created many of them and will add matching background papers, but I couldn’t wait to share these tulips with you all
Clicking the image will take you to the png file. Just ‘right click’ and ’save image as’
Many thanks to Spectrum Glass for the glass images and pattern

Art is an important part of my life. I love so many different things, paintings, drawings, poems, sculptures, performing arts like ballet, classical music and of course musical theatre! The best way to spend an evening (apart from witnessing a live performance) is browsing YouTube. I’ve found so many gems there, things from the past too, I had no idea that so many things were actually recorded and stored away, waiting for a bigger public than national television.
On one of my “YouTube Nights” I found a video that I just have to share. Swan Lake is a masterpiece by itself, but this performance by the Great Chinese State Circus gave me goosebumps all over.
Enjoy!
