For kicks, visit my 1998 Mail Art Project.
Yup, I collect sand. It all started way back in 1982 on a trip to Maui, Hawaii. The sand there was so different from where I lived, (Montana), I just had to take some home with me. Since then, I've picked up sand from various places, and, now, after finally settling down after several years of moving around, it's time to start collecting again. If you are a sand collector as well, I have a list of sands available to trade.
I collect sand from any source, and anyone! In addition to collecting samples of sand, I also create mail art projects using the extra sand I collect. Sooo, even if you are not a sand collector, I would still love to get sand from you. I need as much sand as you can possibly send - I need to have some for my own collection, of course - but I also need extra to trade with other collectors. If you're interested, send me an email. I want to hear from you! All contributors receive free documentation of the project created (usually a small ceramic/mixed media sculpture of some sort).
Here are links to images of some of the samples I have collected. Use your back button to return to this page. I'm working on how to get clearer pictures of these samples. I'd be happy to hear from anyone with suggestions.
