How many grains of sand are there in the entire world? Good question and science author Robert Krulwich took a stab at answering the question in his article here.
"if you assume a grain of sand has an average size and you calculate how many grains are in a teaspoon and then multiply by all the beaches and deserts in the world, the Earth has roughly (and we're speaking very roughly here) 7.5 x 1018 grains of sand, or seven quintillion, five hundred quadrillion grains."
Seven Quintillion, Five Hundred Quadrillion Grains!
Hey, that's a lot of material with which to create art. Let's go for it! I became fascinated with the sand while strolling along the beaches of Tenerife during my visit there last week. What great memories!
In This Round we Are looking For Sand Patterns!

Ok I see that Steem and SBD aren't there. I traded SBD a few hours ago and both options were available. Check later or send him an email. He usually answers very quickly.

Wow, Tenerife, to be frank, I'm a bit jealous. I've been three times to Gran Canaria and enjoyed the sand dunes there very very much! I hope to visit Tenerife as well. You've come up with a great idea about a sand art! Congats.
Here's one of my photos from Gran Canaria (an island next to Tenerife):

Another real challenge, let me see how creative I can be! Love this contest. I am running a contest this week where people need to show in the form of photo what their biggest fear is, and its quite amusing to see just how many people are out of their comfort zone for this one. hehe, but its loads of fun just like this one. Thank you!

Or for another mundane art round other natural things in the shape of something else.
