| Similar to the desktop sand Zen gardens you've seen on shows and movies like"Aly McBeal"! Patterned after Japanese style rock gardens these handmade sculpture gardens come with a stoneware (pictured) or porcelain 9" x 2" tray, fine limestone sand, a teak, brass, and red dogwood rake, and each has a unique selection of items for arranging! | ||
The soothing, calming effects of basic artistic tasks are well known. The whole field of "Sand Play" professional therapy was developed from this concept. With this beautiful display, you can experience both the depth of a simple arrangement,... and the joy and relaxation of designing it! Remove all the items from the tray and find serenity raking patterns in the fine sand. I exhibit these in art fairs and nearly every person is compelled to play, raking the sand. Once a satisfying pattern is developed in the sand, you arrange the 4-6 items. Whether symmetrically, randomly, artistically, or following your whims, the resulting display is captivating! | ||
I started making these just this spring, and they have become one of the most popular items I sell! They are perfect for an office, family room (add a little scent for cat repellent), waiting room (no one will touch the magazines!), or therapeutic clinic. For the person who has everything and needs to relax and not worry about it! | ||
| A typical assortment might include: |
a water sculpted stone a sea shell a mica flake a quartz crystal two hand sculpted clay objects: | |
animal totems |
a clay dice, end of a finger, skull or bones, shark fin or other bizarre item might be added here. | |
