My two Grandsons and I had a great afternoon
at the beach creating plaster footprints and handprints.
The tide was way out leaving lots of sand...still it was difficult to find what would work best...either too wet or too dry.
My oldest grandson, who is well versed in all aspects of
the beach, sand, stones, crabs, sand dollars etc. introduced
me to what he has named "25 second sand". He heaped
up handfuls of wet sand onto level dry sand, waited 25 seconds and then made his foot print. It held the print perfectly!
Plaster cast of 6 year old foot.
Dry plaster mixed with fesh water...2 parts plaster
1 part water.
Pour or spoon into imprint . . .
wait about a half hour. . .
Carefully remove sand from all around your casting
and from underneath. Gently lift from the sand.
Rinse in a nearby tidal pool.
