My project is called “Time Frame”.
The “Time Frame” is a classic antique table-top mirror, with the mirror removed, mounted on top of a 5 foot tall self-supporting pole.

An often asked piece of advice we give is tips on taking an RV to Burning Man. With a harsh environment, lots of alkaline dust, extreme temperature ranges, high gusty winds – it’s a good question to ask!
So, here are some quick tips we offer up with this being (hopefully) our forth year on [...]

**EDIT:  We have found a new kitty sitting home for Kiki.  Thank you so much to everyone who helped us get the word out, and for all the awesome suggestions**.
We had intended to have our friends in Sacramento cat sit for Kiki while we’re at Burning Man. Previously, Kiki and their cats have gotten along [...]

The past weeks have been a blur of amazing scenery going by at way too quick of  pace (and with way too little bandwidth). It seems every time this part of the year is like this as we transition to be on the west coast for Burning Man.   Before leaving Saint Louis, we found [...]
