Really??! I'm just lucky to get a perfect mound out of my bucket when I flip it at the beach! Look at the detail on Batman! (Is it me or does he have a "package"??)
ReplyDeleteAmazing! I love watching people do this for exhibition. i always seem to see the biblical ones when I go to the beach but these are really cool!
ReplyDeleteYes, Lin, I agree, I think Batman has a 'package'.
