What do you do with 12 plastic pails?

I had the need for a single red plastic sand bucket as a prop a while back and found that it was a bit difficult to find in the winter in NY. So a quick search of the ol’ interweb brought me 12 plastic pails just in time for the shoot. Well, what do you do with 12 plastic pails once they’ve served their purpose as a prop (aside from recycle them or try to pawn them off on your friends’ children)? Make something bright and vacuous!

    Bright and vacuous indeed and the use of sand buckets in the new snow creates a wonderful metaphor of a child at play.
