William Tabar: Sand Art Innovator of Moving Sand Art:


**Biography:**

William Tabar began his journey into the world of kinetic sand art in 1985 in Salt Lake City. His passion for creating mesmerizing sand pictures that evolved and changed with time, gravity, and motion led to the establishment of Exotic Sands by William Tabar. He became the pioneer and inventor of the original handcrafted sand art designs, revolutionizing the art form by combining elements of time, gravity, matter, and motion into fascinating, ever-changing works of art.


Tabar's Exotic Sands Sand Art captivates viewers as the sands seemingly transform into mountains, glaciers, oceans, deserts, and beaches, providing a calming effect while stimulating the imagination. These sand pictures are handcrafted with seven distinct colored sands sourced from various corners of the globe. The quality frames, made from knotty alder wood, encapsulate a closely guarded, non-toxic solution that preserves the art.


His designs come in various sizes and styles, all featuring a swiveling pedestal, ideal for any office or home setting. The high-styled alder and cherry wood frames complement various interior decors, making Exotic Sands' sand pictures a perfect gift.


**Q&A About Exotic Sands - Moving Sand Art:**

3. **Difference from Knock-off Competitors:** The genuine sand pictures boast higher quality scenes, materials, and a longer lifespan compared to knock-off competitors.


4. **Display in Direct Sunlight:** Though feasible, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight might gradually fade the liquid's color over several years. Back lighting enhances viewing.
