series of clay sand castles I made for a swap. these are still wet and need to dry for about 3 days. originally I planned to paint them with acrylic sand colored paint to seal but the one I painted looked so much worse than the unpainted that I decided to leave them in their natural state. the castles are between 2¨ and 2.5¨ tall
