Review on YayaCat Sand Picture: A Mesmerizing Art Form for Home Décor and Relaxation by Carrie Spencer

. and he will start to charm you. The packaging was much appreciated and I agree so I won't dwell on it again. There is a guide in English as a second language, but if you can understand it, they basically say make the bubbles bigger, 1-2 cm, to make sure the shape "settles" slowly from top to bottom, and to turn them. carefully along its long axis (side to side) so they don't foam. You do this by tapping the side of the frame before flipping it (carefully); This will combine the bubbles into one, two, or three really big bubbles, but they'll split up on the fly. Sometimes tons of mountains and peaks form in 20 minutes, sometimes in less than 5 minutes in a big fwoomp mostly oceans form, but always in different ways. I have no idea why the different colored "sands" don't mix to make a uniform color, but they don't, and there are some interesting perspective effects. I put it on the kitchen table and watch while I cook or have breakfast; If it was on my desk I would never get the job done. I'm thinking about getting a smaller one for my DL who works as a consultant; The kids that come into her office are always more talkative when they're not making eye contact, so she has a range of fidget toys for them. It would be great for that. I've had no issues at all with mine, but I understand it's a pleasure working with the manufacturer when yours doesn't seem right - they hand make them one at a time and it seems like the original manufacturing issues are now resolved. A beautiful device that my grandchildren will probably fight over when I die. Edited later to add: I've had it for about 18 months, sadly out of warranty. Some seems to have evaporated and the layer of bubbles is now so thick that it blocks the beautiful flow that used to be so exciting. Very annoying. I could still get another one, but I'm hoping the manufacturer has fixed this issue.
