Whew, it's been quite a month! I'm back from Burning Man, and very glad I went, but very glad to be home. It was a pretty incredible experience, and I'm not sure I can sum it up any more now than I could before I went. Some words that come to mind are: hot, dusty, amazing, colorful, free, dusty, surreal, intense, dusty, mind-boggling, eye-opening, dusty.....it was a great experience. But being on the other side of it, I can honestly say that the one thing that Burning Man did for me more than anything, was make me more thankful that I have friends and family who I love and love me, and a reality that I love. I love my life, I love what I do. I missed "my reality" out on the Playa. So now that I'm back, I am eager to wake up in the morning and do the tasks that make up my day.
That being said, here are a few pictures:
This was what Center Camp looked like. I loved all of the colored strips of fabric that they hung from the ceiling. One of my favorite things was to sit down and look up at the colors waving in the wind.
This was the temple....very awe-inspiring and moving. And a lot bigger than it seems in this picture.
In case you don't believe me about the dust.....
And this picture sums up my week.....full of awe, amazement, and shock.

I have a renewed sense of discipline and peace of mind, and look forward to getting back to the torch and the tasks that await me. I think I'm going to work on some PMC this weekend too, for the first time in a while. It's my Mom's 60th birthday, and she might be getting something special (if I can get it made in time!)
Hope everyone has a good weekend. Hopefully I'll have some pics to share next week!
Ciao-
Carter

hi Carter!
met you last nite at Calypso Twist! thanks for generously sharing so much of your art process and information. my daughter and I loved watching you work and after leaving the party, we both agreed YOUR work was our favorite! Livvy who is 14 is anxious to check out the Crucible for a glass beading class and me too! Your jean skirt is adorable --- exciting to see you moving into wearable art!
