text: A major principle of sandcastling is always to complete your work on a higher level before proceeding to a lower level. […] Making up your own techniques is not difficult. In fact, the more sandcastling you do, the more you will find your imagination taking over.
ref: 1982, Jeffrey Shear, Michael DiPersio, Steven Schneider, Castles in the Sand, Putnam Press, →ISBN, pages 9, 26:
text: These sand castles and other constructions became centerpieces for annual festivals and competitions. “Sandcastling” moved beyond family games for kiddies to become a verb. […] Sandcastling origins, far upstream in time, may go back to Egyptians who, four thousand years ago, made sand replicas of pyramids and monuments. […] Sandcastling now joins a host of other occupations which, increasingly in the 1990s, enliven varied sites with once limited but now expanding artistic activities.
