Also, unless your sand is semi-transparent or something, you can't see sand
inside other sand. So you can build a punt[1] on the bottom to reduce the
number of independent grains.
You might also want to perhaps do something to make sure you don't have
grains floating in mid-air, or to make a higher hill in the middle in order
to make it look like it poured in through the neck of the glass.

The question in today's corporate environment is not
so much "what color is your parachute?" as it is
"what color is your nose?"
