Everyone! Say a great big Babes with Blades
"Hello" to Sandy. Her real name is actually Lucinda, but down on South
Padre Island, Texas she's known as Sandy Feet. Why that name you ask? Because
Sandy happens to be one of the premier sculptors in a rather unique medium...
sand. Some artists work in oils, some with clay, but Miz Feet enjoys working
with sand. I'm sure all of us have at one time or another have pushed a large
mound of sand together and called it a sand castle, however it totally pales in comparison
to what Sandy and her fellow island artists (called the Sons of the Beaches)
have sculpted up and down Padre Island, across the U.S. , Europe and as far away
as China! To see some fantastic examples of her work, click on her link at the
bottom of the page.
Sandy is also a prolific web page designer and
has designed and maintains a large number of the web sites on the island. As you
can imagine, her schedule keeps her quite busy so we were quite happy when she
called and told us that she would enjoy posing for our web site when our staff
was down there on vacation. Web Guy and Camera Guy tried not to talk her ears
off about web layout and design and we told Skippy and Moriarty to go find were
they buried Ohshee in the sand to keep them out of mischief for a bit (it didn't
help). It came down to a whirlwind photo shoot with a race to catch the sunset
over the bay. One babe, one outfit, two locations, two swords... total session
time, exactly 40 minutes, a new record. Whew!
