Sand Art and Play - Drip Castles

Drip Castles

A variant on the sandcastle is the drip castle, made by mixing the sand with water and dripping it from a fist held above. Some refer to the technique as "dribbling." When the slurry of sand and water lands on existing sand structures, the effect is Gaudi-esque.

Famous quotes containing the words drip and/or castles:

    “This is the weather the shepherd shuns,
    And so do I;
    When beeches drip in browns and duns,
    And thresh, and ply;”
    —Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    “Though castles topple on their warder’s heads,
    Though palaces and pyramids do slope
    Their heads to their foundations; though the treasure
    Of nature’s germens tumble all together,
    Even till destruction sicken—answer me
    To what I ask you.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
