Heat Transfer Vinyl T-Shirts Without a Craft Cutter
Faire: Bay Area
Maker: Maker Block
Home: California, United States
I've had a lot of ideas for t-shirts that would have been perfect for HTV (heat transfer vinyl) but I don't have a craft cutter. Once I realized I could use a regular craft knife, I had a lot of fun making a variety of t-shirts for myself and my family. For a kid's birthday we made matching themed t-shirts for everyone for way less than it would cost to buy or have one made. It would be a fun and inexpensive way to update an old piece of clothing or add some neat personalization.
My Heart Will Go On
Faire: Bay Area
Maker: Double X, Carlsbad, Daedalus, Rabbitovski, laëiou
Home: California, United States
Exhibited on the Burning Man Playa this year, “My Heart Will Go On” is a 10ft kinetic sculpture that dances with the rhythm of life and love, lighted up by string of LEDs, powered by the sun and wind. Drawing inspiration from the timeless song, “My Heart Will Go On,” this piece recaptures the spirit of enduring love and courage. Amid a world recovering from pandemic, a world with wars and economic downturn, it stands as a symbol of hope and resilience. As you witness its rhythmic pulse, we hope you find love: love for others, love for our shared world, and most importantly, love of yourself.

Parents and kids can all take turns using our safer equipment, which is always very popular!
