Hearing-impaired and mute, late artist Andrew Clemens created an amazing series of sand bottles that date back more than a hundred years ago.
These glass bottles, which Clemens spent hours creating, are packed with colorful sand without the use of any glue. The late artist from Iowa would use specially made tools to form the sand grains into intricate images, including eagles, ships and trains.
Today, Clemens’ sand bottles can be bought via auction.
