Anyone strolling past Ocean Beach got a pretty amazing sight on Sunday. A group of ”sand artists” known as Elemental Team Arts was out doing their monthly dazzling decorative sand project. Sunday’s mandala is seen below, and you can even join them when they do their April session.

“We come together and we tap into our creativity and create large-scale beach art together,” Elemental Team Arts co-organizer Kelsi Anderson told KGO. “The focus really is on connecting to our intuition and having spontaneous creative flow and everything is temporary,” she said.

The magic happens on the ground level with that month’s team using rakes to form large-scale art in the sand.
