A crenellated turret here, a winding, arched staircase there, maybe even a giant turtle, fairy tale ideas are at the heart of every sandcastle. Summer after summer, children and adults alike make valiant efforts to infuse their sandy structures with such inspiration, but the results are generally disappointing. With "Sandcastles Made Simple", Lucinda sandy feet Wierenga, a renowned sand sculptor, puts a permanent end to less-than-perfect beach creations. She provides the ultimate step-by-step guide to building impressive sandcastles, and shows that with a few simple tools and a basic understanding of sand, building dream castles can be easy. The book features instructions for each of the elements, base, staircase, roof, balcony, and more, that can be combined to fashion one-of-a-kind castles. Also included are two projects designed specifically for younger children. Like a shovel and pail, "Sandcastles Made Simple" is an on-the-beach necessity.Wierenga, Lucinda is the author of 'Sandcastles Made Simple Step-By-Step Instructions, Tips, and Tricks for Building Sensational Sand Creations', published 2005 under ISBN 9781584794080 and ISBN 1584794089.
