Athenia Design

This is interesting its a piece of artwork created by sand artist Andres Amador. He creates these patterns in the sand some of which span over 500 feet. The work involves raking the sand into intricate patterns. Andres first works on the designs in his notebook before working with the sand. The work has to be completed quickly before the sea washes the design away so the effect is only temporary. After all his hard work the artist is left with just a snapshot of each piece of work. Still its fairly impressive stuff.

This is unusual its one woman's project to recreate the Sistine Chapel ceiling in a cross stitch. It took eight years to finish the piece which is actually longer than it took to create the original ceiling. It certainly is impressive.
