Michael's has a huge selection of holiday/Christmas abstract silk floral stuff right now. Since it's glittery I sprayed it with a clear gloss acrylic till it was dripping wet to prevent moop-age.

A close up shot. For the insect eyes I glued hundred of glass beads to craft foam half-spheres.

Hey thanks for the suggestions everyone, here's the finished product. I ended up using an old fedora I had buried in my closet.

[attachment=0]Untitled-1.jpg[/attachment] Last year I made a (vegan) mohawk style headdress, photo below. For an upcoming event in Denver I'd like to make an insect themed headdress that's much more front loaded and "Princess Leia" style. I've got two things I'd like advice on. 1) how does the strap...

You guys rock for giving me things to consider. I'm also thinking about a little something like this, it would be much harder for the wind to get up underneath on first glance AND give me those walls I'd kinda like. http://blog.naver.com/PostView.nhn?blogId=jg0327&logNo=50174193449 MSR_Pavilion_tarp...

your idea might work brilliantly, it's just that it's unproven. I suppose that's part of what I like, coming up with ideas at home and then taking them out and see how they work. Course that tune could change if in '14 the roof blows away and a tower falls over landing on my car windshield ;) BTW h...

They are pretty, but I worry (a lot) about wind. Thoughts? The cornucopia does look a bit like a giant wind scoop or funnel if pointed in the wrong direction, I think that's one of multiple reasons I'm revisiting the design. If a case can be made that the other designs are unsound I'd love to hear ...

Giving a playa-fur hat that I made to a virgin friend who's joining me in 2014. An oversized silver bow seemed like an appropriate way to wrap it.

In that do-ocracy spirit I came up with a design inspired by this year's city map, found someone with a laser engraver and made my own. Here's the finished product.

I drive a honda civic so I'm in the process of designing a shade structure where every piece must be under 5 ft in length. My first design had been this horrible cornucopia looking thing which became narrow and extremely low the farther back you get. The main design element are two 13 ft tall diamon...

[quote="DrYes"]Are you talking about these? (Some have the city laser cut, some the tree, some flames.....and a few rare ones have a unicorn cut out.)[/quote] I do love those and got one while on the playa but alas no the item I'm looking for is an intricately cut metal map of the city, so intricate...

Just got back from my first burn (woot) and I saw people in beautiful laser cut / etched pendants of the BRC city map. I had a look around etsy and kickstarter schwag but can't seem to find who made them. Anyone have a lead for me? They were among the most beautiful works of art and I'd really love ...

All around the city I saw people in beautiful laser cut or etched pendants of the BRC city map. I had a look around etsy and kickstarter schwag but can't seem to find who made them. Anyone have a lead for me?
