I'm sure who's ever idea it was is still utterly brilliant... but the stilting trees idea still rocks for Burning man this year. I'm going to have a tree costume which incorporates stilts. Half of us already have costumes, the other half still has months...
Is anyone else interested in creating a forest a trees that walks around the playa?

Thu, February 15, 2007 - 7:46 AMHey Aspen-
I didn't see this thread at first, but I'm glad I did now.
I would love love LOVE to join in on this--
a flash that I had while thinking about this: trees with fire in the branches... could adapt the "technology" that we used for the first night costumes (little propane tanks, copper tubing and stainless steel scrubbies for wicks).
count me in!!
do you have pictures of the costumes that are already out there? could you post them?
love!!

Tue, February 27, 2007 - 12:24 PMI'm not teaching people to make stilts, but I think others can. I purchased mine, so I have no skills... We MAY have some kind of costume gathering later on this spring though...

Re: Walking Trees at Burning Man
Mon, February 26, 2007 - 6:22 PMThe Oregon country fair, and the Harmony Festival have a troop that has some giant tree costumes. (sequoias) Also, I have a couple of friends, who do a tree man with stilts at Renaissance fairs. They are now at the Arizona Renaissance fair. These costumes are semi-self standing. So they could be part of the Deco when no one is in them. -
