That is very painful ..like draining away all the effort...but discover something new by getting dirty

I have an online friend on here called @ammonite who is probably very familiar with this, he's an ephemeral sculptor who makes stuff out of sand and ice, so all his art is always getting washed/eroded/squashed/melted away (go see it if you haven't already, he makes some really cool stuff). Good thing we have cameras to capture them now :D
