A sand garden

The sand is a little too coarse to make fine lines and detailed patterns. Despite having sifted it through a screen mesh, it still has a lot of little bits of crushed sea shell in it which gives it a rough texture.

After washing and drying the sand, I dumped it into an old frying pan someone downstairs left out to be recycled.Then I went about making a little rake and something to smooth the sand out with. I apparently made the comb of the rake too fine since I can't make any deep impressions in the sand, only small shallow ridges.

The interesting thing is,

Little rake to make patterns in sand

Kind of like perspectives in life. Sometimes a very delicate and beautiful pattern is right before your eyes. You just need a little light shining from the right direction to see it.
