<p>Katerina, in a little less than 24 hours, sandpo has taken on a life of its own. You deserve most of the credit. I hope you continue the push with your sandpaper. Concretism, I believe, in no time will become obsolete. I can envision now some time in the future the publication of a 21-volume survey of the world's sandpo. Thus far, we have only scratched the surface. Surely several volumes will be dedicated to you.</p>

<p>Sandpo? Sloan, you are a man of words! Αμμοποίηση...sand poetry, sounds nice in Greek, too. I used to do a lot of "painting with sand" for outdoor ed. art activity classes. (There is an abundance of sandy beaches here ;-) One technique was simply to draw with glue (Herr Haptic Erni's UHU glue)on heavy papers or cardboard and then sprinkle the sand on top.

<p>Do you know that one method for sharpening your scissors is to cut sandpaper? Really...I googled it!</p>
<p>And now...back to doing more Sandpo!</p> Call me Mr. Sand Man. Sandpo…tag:iuoma-network.ning.com,2011-02-11:2496677:Comment:2730202011-02-11T01:31:55.491ZDe Villo Sloanhttp://iuoma-network.ning.com/profile/DeVilloSloan
<p>Call me Mr. Sand Man. Sandpo has a distinguished history. It was invented by William Blake in these lines:</p>
<p>To see a world in a grain of SAND</p>
<p>And heaven in a wild flower</p>
<p>To hold infinity in your hand</p>
<p>And eternity for an hour</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Kids, Sandpo is the next BIG thing - bigger than its cousin Concrete Poetry. You can get in on the ground floor too. The offers are already pouring in.</p>
