Not Sand

  Google lied!  Or, at least it was far from being accurate.  Just kidding.  The reverse image search that I did had no way of knowing what the photograph was, where it was taken nor how large the image was so it would have surprised me if I had gotten an answer that was correct.  The image is not even something that was likely to have ever appeared before so a reverse image search was a futile effort.  The fact is I already know what the image is and what caused it but the cool design in the middle looks so familiar that I thought perhaps I had seen something, somewhere like it.

  I am in the midst of doing a good cleaning in the craft room.  In fact, EVERYTHING has to be moved from the room so it can be gutted and redone.  Nothing has been changed in there since it was Darling Daughter's bedroom so it is time for a update!  I need shelves for the crafty items, a sewing area for costumes and a bit of storage for the costumes.  Son has promised to create whatever I deem necessary to get this whim of mine to fruition.  All of this clearing has produced some mighty strange items that were somehow tucked away with good intentions.  One piece is nothing but a sizely chunk of Styrofoam.  This was set aside when we needed to line a box for a clue hunt several years ago.  Son built what was basically an ice chest (he dubbed it the "box of colder") to keep some items chilled.  A regular cooler would not have kept with the theme set in medieval times.  The foam pieces were kept in case we needed a quick repair.  Since then, several items were placed on top of the foam and were smashed into it.  When I went to toss the foam, the design created by the indentations caught my eye.  It was fascinating!  


  The design shared a close resemblance to a few of the crop circle images that I have seen but, also, made me think of perhaps a logo of some sort.  My idea with the reverse image search was to reassure myself that this was not just some hodgepodge of crinkles and dents and that it really did appear to be something...anything.   Google had no idea...it said "sand".  I guess?  But I do think Google missed the mark on this one.  Sand!  At least give me some weird choice and keep the wheels in my brain whirring about how this design can be twisted into an art piece or a clue for the clue hunt.  Not just sand!
