I use to have one such sand art video, I was hoping to see that video here or on you tube, but i can't find it. I still have the disc back home, at my parents house, maybe i should get it and upload it on you tube. Sand art amazed me back then and does even now! Lovely pictures of the Buddhist sand pictures, they are awesome.
