“ALICE IN WONDERLANDÂ SAND SCULPTURE”
World champion sand sculpture artists Meredith Colson and Dan Doubleday created a sand masterpiece on Treasure Island beach this weekend to commemorate the DVD and Blu-ray release of Walt Disney’s movie Alice in Wonderland.
The 6 foot sculpture of the Mad Hatter’s hat from the film took eight hours to construct using special sand. The two world renown artists worked feverishly to make sure every detail was in the hat. Along side sits another work of art, the Wonderland rabbit holding his watch.
The artwork will be recreated from scratch on Tuesday June 1st in Miami with special events being held in conjunction with the first day of the release of the Blu-ray.
Helping to sponsor the event in the Tampa, Florida area was TV32 who had promotions during the day while the sand sculpture was being made.
Colson and Doubleday are a professional sand sculpting team called Sanding Ovations that consists of World
Champion winners, Gold medalists in both the solo and team categories, and the 2000 Solo World Champion. They have over thirty-five years of experience in the field. You can visit their website at www.sandingovations.com for a look at many of their projects.
