Balsa Man is a Cutie

There's a reason for the season and this Labor Day weekend it was Balsa Man! Here is the man himself, all two feet tall, with mini balsa lights pointed toward him and proudly waiting to be sacrificed. Balsa Man stands on a base of tiny Balsa Man effigies and is waiting to raise his arms to the sky before being lit on fire... Sad but a beautiful moment losing this new friend but Hello There Cutie, see you again next year!!! xxxo

Balsa Math Cutie

Shapes like this count more as science then cute except (note the italics) when at Balsa Man! This little piece was about 6" high and so adorable I wanted to wear it as a hat. Unfortunately, everything is burned at the end of Balsa Man so it just lives on in my memory... and on Hello There Cutie!!! xxxo

Balsa Man Porta-Cuties

Yes Cuties, those are porta-potties you see today on this wee blog. At Balsa Man (see yesterdays posting for details), these were the 1/16th in size porta-potties that were made for the event. Made of cardboard and no bigger then my hand, this is a great example of the tiny spirit of Balsa and the cuteness that surrounded us everywhere. Hello There Cuties!!! xxxo

Balsa Man Cutie

This weekend I had the honor of going to Balsa Man. Balsa is an arts event based upon the roots of Burning Man with everything 1/16th in scale and underground in its implementation. So instead of 50,000+ people, Balsa Man had maybe 100 who paid 10 cents a piece for entry. This week on Hello There Cutie, we're going to be featuring some of the cute art (it was all sooo tiny!) from Balsa in the spirit of sharing art for free... please enjoy and Hello There Cuties!!! xxxo
