MY UNUSUAL HOBBY – SAND SCULPTURES

I live on the coast of Ocean City, Maryland, where there are lots of beautiful sandy beaches and warm sunny days. It’s the perfect place for my favourite hobby – making sand sculptures. Four years ago, there was a sand sculpture festival near where I live. I couldn’t believe that such wonderful model buildings, incredible creatures, and some amazingly realistic faces of celebrities were all made out of sand. From that moment, I knew that this was something I would love to do. I’ve heard people say that making sand castles is for kids, not adults, but that doesn’t bother me at all. I believe sand art is a creative and playful hobby that can be enjoyed by all ages. People can make different kinds of shapes and form structures out of their creative mind. The only materials needed are water and sand – plenty of it, and lots of time. Creating a big sand sculpture may take up to weeks to build. It also requires a lot of endurance and patience from the sculptors. Many people don’t understand that even lightly touching a sand sculpture can make a whole section fall off, which can take hours to rebuild. Of course, heavy rain can do some damage, but not as much as you might think. As long as you build far enough up the beach, the waves won’t wash a sand sculpture away. So, when you’re next at the seaside, make one yourself – you’ll get a great sense of achievement.

26. The writer decided to start making sand sculptures after being impressed by some near her house.
