20160827_016248 - We Have the Finished Product

In around 5 minutes we've gone from something that resembles sand, to something which resembles a horse.

I don't recall whether the end result was available for sale; I doubt that I would have bought it because I'd have serious doubts about whether it would make it back to Australia in one piece.

Is it the world's greatest work of art? I rather doubt it. However it would have been a helluva memento, in the literal sense, and I would have liked to have had it. I do wonder where it is now; whether they kept it, sold it, thrown it out or just recycled it into another exhibition for another group of tourists sometime during the 2 1/2 years since we were there as of the time of writing.

Much as I wanted to focus on the object of art itself, I also wanted to keep at least one of the hands of the person who made it in the image as well.

Excellent selective color to capture the artwork. V

Love the selective color, perfect for this special creation.

Hmm- they are quite amazing creations and remind me of visiting people's homes when I was a kid -there always seemed to be a piece of 'Venetian' glass. There is also something slightly tacky about them so I probably couldn't afford the ones I'd like.
