Calling all creative monkies of the playa

Post by TheEnglishButterfly » Mon Jul 09, 2012 11:14 pm

'Allo 'Allo... my name is Jenn and I have yet to make it out to Burning Man but have been to local events in Colorado. Next year I hope my boyfriend and I can finally make it since I convinced him how awesome Burning Man is!

I have posted on here previously but forgotten my login name, so alas... created a new one. So anyways, I wanted to ask some of you lovely creative people here if you could help me. The 5 year anniversary of my boyfriend and I being together is coming up soon and I'd love to know if someone has an awesome idea to make for us. I am not a fan of the "Here babe, here's a shirt. LOVE YA!" We have the bone love knot necklaces from home of poi, glass pendents, I gave him a glass pipe (I don't smoke though) and so um, what else? Ideas? I'm sure the lovely people here have great ideas and might be able to make even greater things than I can even try to make... so help me puhlease!

Oh I sound so pathetic **hangs head in shame**

But to give you an idea about us to help you out, he's a DJ, we are both weirdo geeks (I'm an English major/teacher, nuff said, lol). We are parents yet still love to dabble in the adult fun of say, Burner events or the occasional "rave." But we are growing out of that so that's really why we want to just gravitate to Burning Man next year. We just couldn't get tickets in time this year. Love music of all types, necklaces/things to wear/match together would be a bonus for my gift to him. I have recently gotten into painting but not good enough to paint something for him.

Need any other info? Just ask... I just think you all would be great people to ask and might be able to procure something neato for our anniversary.

And then hopefully I can get to know some of yall and meet you next year on the playa :) Those of you going this year.... have fun and BE SAFE!!!!

-Jenn

You ARE good enough to paint for him. Paint from the heart and he will cherish it. I can't paint photo-realistically, but paint I do, and often, and it is well received as gifted art. So go for it.
