Thanks, Chat.

I'll keep you posted as events unfold.

Count me in, especially as I'm an Anti M fan, and didn't even know she is a fire creature!

Circus performance and fire is one of my jobs, when I'm not making sculpture. I'd be quite happy to juggle, eat, or spin for your wedding.

Anti M, your excellent figures arrived today! Not too much the worse for wear, though the maroon one lost a hand in the journey. They look GREAT, thanks very much for mailing them.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Excellent, Anti M! Many thanks for doing those, they look GREAT.

Nice, Anti M! Love the bus, too. It looks like you must get pretty meditative in your process. Amazing detail.

Doc are you the genius behind BDC? I have a lot of respect for that amazing camp. One of our resolutions for 2010 is to bring barbies with clothes we made. I love the idea, and with the artists permission, will indeed burn the little rascals, but isn't three inches a little little? Perhaps we could ...

Hi Crypto! I was composing and missed your post. Excellent looking figures! The mixed media idea is perfect for what I'm seeing. I'm eager to watch what happens with the different interpretations of "figure". Three inches is kind of crucial, all else is open. And having said that, AntiM, your miniat...

Hi Deb, great question. We are after figures to be made in a wide variety of materials. Last week at artgarage, one student made one of clay, I made one of sawed off lions feet and coat hanger wrapped in yarn, with a jack of hearts face glued on his head. I believe the model will be displayed indoor...

Hi! We are making a model, 22" high, in aluminum, steel, and stone. Burners in this scenario will be depicted at roughly 3" tall and under, the scale is two feet to the inch. Respecting and loving the beauty found in the people who attend, we want the figures of people for our model to be wildly div...

Fire Moose, is that 2700 psf? Thanks for the info. UD, yes and no. If you scroll down on the blog to "Why this will work", there is a five-ton ball inside a metal frame, and a similar ball with all the metal works inside. I've also constructed an eight-foot cube in stone, its about 2/3 down on this ...

Does anyone know what the soil bearing capacity is on the playa?

Thanks, Little Flower! I am no less excited than you, and hope we meet in or under it.

Simon, I have no doubt that you could, and would certainly enrich the lives of those within earshot. Nice clip!

Natch, Thisisthat. My lady and I passed on the rocket tour for the same reason. Consider that one an out of the park clue. Thanks! We have an upgrade in conversation right now, to a circle of stones in the bottom of the sphere which will drop down on a winch cable, pick folks up, and vanish back int...

Thanks, Simon, thanks, oneeye.

37 years! We are trying to create about a five-minute-per-burner experience. Maybe I should re-think it.



Fire Moose, you could, with short cables. There will only be about a six foot round area in there.

Thanks for that, MJM, it means quite something, coming from you!

It should be extraordinary in there.

Thanks,Iso!

looks like a damn good lead.

Cheers.

Hi. We are planning a piece called "Conscious Contact". It is a ten-ton stone meditation chamber inside a forty-foot high, steel-beam pyramid. http://makingconsciouscontact.com/ I'm Karl. I came to Burning Man 2009 for my first time. I am a sculptor. here's my site: http://rocksolidsculpture.com/ We...

Brilliant concept.

Jump in, the water is great. My girlfriend Terri and I went last year for the first time, also from CT, and it was fantastic. Bring your large canvas rolled and complete, and stretch it there. Consider it a gift to the festival, and try to be unworried about what kind of shape it will come home in. ...
