Flea Circus by Susanne RuselerHow amazing are these Sand Sculptures! I know most of you will not be able to go and see them but for those of you who live in Australia or are planning a vacation there in the next few months you might want to include this event on your to do list.
Creepy Crawlies, the newest theme for Sandstorm Events' annual Sand Sculpting Australia exhibition in Frankston, will once again see the best sculptors from around the world - from the Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland and the UK, to Singapore, Canada and the USA - join with their Aussie workmates to form a team of 21 artists.
These creative and very talented people will work tirelessly for nearly 3 weeks to bring into being enormous yet finely detailed and lifelike sculptures that show the weird and wonderful world of Creepy Crawlies.
From beetles, bugs and butterflies, to spiders, slugs and scorpions, the tiny creatures that inhabit our lives will be magnified and amplified in giant sand sculptures. Delicate dragonflies and enchanting ladybirds will mingle with bed bugs, fleas and other things that make you itch and your skin crawl!
