Art with colored sand

This picture is all drawn with colored sand. It is the holy chariot in which the idols of gods will be taken around in a procession.This is drawn with colored sand and no other tools used.

The picture was taken during a Rangoli competition in which me and my friend participated as a team. There were 25 teams we were up against. We were given 90 minutes to finish the art. As ours was the most complicated with all the twists and the loops we had to start and hurry like it was the last few minutes.I was a little bit more than nervous and the sand wasn't flowing through my fingers in a clean and steady fashion.Felt like I was scattering sand all over the canvas.I had to calm myself and if only i could say it was a piece of cake.Well eventually i got the steadiness in the flow and i could turn and twist and loop.Finally we made it through with just 3min to the deadline.Now the next part is that the judges were to judge and score each and everyone of the pieces.As we stood watching each one of the judges glared at our pieces.It was wild to imagine how each scored us. Finally we made into the top three.Now all our friends were getting anxious. As the board announced the third place we were so proud that it was not us.Now----------after a long pause which lasted like forever the runners up was announced and we were overjoyed and you might have guessed why.

WE WERE THE BEST
