‘Growth Requires Change’ - Jynae and I’s first ever sand sculpture won people’s choice and sculptors choice! Thank you Seaside Sand Fest 🤯
Technically speaking there were two different classes competing: advanced amateurs (that would be us) and the masters, but we got the most votes overall between both classes!
On top of all that, I also won the double elimination quick carve tournament. The competitors had ten minutes to carve a 5 gallon bucket worth of sand into whatever the crowd shouted out. I carved a frog, a skull with pirate hat, a crab eating an ice cream cone, and an axolotl riding a surfboard. What a fun challenge!
Feeling incredibly blessed to have met so many new inspiring friends and to have spent the week playing in the sand with the love of my life 🙌 Art & Airplanes
