Some questions we answer with a smile and give an honest reply. But by the end of the day you might hear some pretty wacky responces. Here is the short list with the honest answers. Q: What happens when it rains? A: We get wet. We go to the tiki bar. When it stops, we go back to work. Only heavy down pours threaten our sculptures. Light rain is actually benificial. Q: How to you build them so tall? A: Giant Navy hilicopters fly in giant buckets. We use huge cranes to lift off the buckets. Actually we simply build wooden forms amd stack them on top of eachother. We remove the forms and carve from the top down. Q: What is the wire sticking out of the top of every sculpture? A: It is an antenna signaling alien life form. Its a lightening rod. Actuallt it is a deterant ffrom large birds that might otherwise pirch on top of the sculptures causing damage. Q: how do you get the sand to stick together so well? A: We use the best sand possible. A fine grain non eroded sand with lots of tiny flat edges to hold all that water. Between each grain of sand there is a tiny water bridge holding them together. The less air, the stronger the bond. Q: How long do the artists have to complete their sculptures? A: Each artist has a total of 28 hours spread over 4 days at 7 hours per day to carve 12 tons of sand. Q: How does someone become a professional sand sculptor? A: Passion, drive, skill, a willingness to learn new things and a little luck dosen't hurt either. There are competitions all over the world and marketing companies looking for a way to attract large crowds. Become good enough, and you get to compete at one of these competitions or get hired to create sand sculptures for a living.  ]]> http://www.fitzysnowman.com/nessf_faq_008.htm Tue, 26 Feb 2008 18:22:07 GMT Fitzy Snowman Sculpting <![CDATA[<A href="about:url http://www.fitzysnowman.com/info.html">About Us</A> | <A href="about:url http://www.fitzysnowman.com/contact.html">Contact Us</A> | <A href="about:url http://www.fitzysnowman.com/sand.html">Sand Sculpting</A><FONT color="#ffff00"> </FONT><FONT color="#000000">| </FONT><A href="about:url http://www.fitzysnowman.com/snow.html">Snow Sculpting</A> | <A href="about:url http://www.fitzysnowman.com/ice.html">Ice Sculpting</A><FONT color="#ffff00"> </FONT><FONT color="#000000">|</FONT><A href="about:url http://www.fitzysnowman.com/pumpkin.html"><FONT color="#000000"> </FONT>Pumpkins</A> | <A href="about:url http://www.fitzysnowman.com/instruction.html">Team Building</A> ]]>  Q: How much sand do you use for the competition. A: We truck in over 350 tons of the golden grain good stuff all the way from Hudson, NH. Q:What is that stuff you spray on the sculptures. A: We use the term windscreen because that is what it is intended to do. It forms a protective barrier on the outside of the sculpture that prevents the wind and sun from blowing away the detail. It is made from 1 part biodegradable glus and 10 parts plain water. We do not mix it with the sand. It is not intended to hold the sculpture together, only to prevent erosion.  ]]> http://www.fitzysnowman.com/nessf_faq_008.htm Tue, 26 Feb 2008 18:22:07 GMT Fitzy Snowman Sculpting
