Yeah, I couldn't do anything to get it to show up here. It's pretty cool though.

Amazing.

I do not believe embedding this type of video is possible here.
Should be a format like this for Yahoo embedded movies.

Code: Select all

http://video.yahoo.com/watch/2057334/6491459?v=2057334

But it doesn't give you those parameters for the video.
You could dl the movie and create your own YouTube link though.

I tried putting in the code, but it would not post plus I don't know what a dl is or how to create one.

Oh... Download, I know what that is. :hehe

Yeah, I don't know what's up with this 'Yahoo' video. A friend sent it to me in an email. I thought it was cool, so I tried to post it here. I've never went to Yahoo to view anything before this.
Oh well, it's no biggie I guess...

Very amazing, I saw the same thing done with sand, it is quite a talent.
I used to use salt when I did watercolors, it was very effective.

Yeah, like those monks that make Sand Mandalas. That's crazy stuff!

I don't understand how one would use salt when doing watercolor painting?

I used to use salt a lot when I did backgrounds. I would soak my 300LB watercolor paper (cotton) in water, then tape it to a board. I would then put on some colors like some blues, rusts, crimsons, or whatever and then sprinkle salt, then it would take on all kinds of shapes that were very interesting. I would then go ahead with my painting when it dried. I would also use misket on the trees if I wanted white paper birch before wetting it.

That's very interesting, thanks for the explanation.
