      Thanks for the feedback Joel & for the very generous donation!! I'm not sure why it wouldn't show up under that search, as we did put that in the tags not to mention the body of text about the project, but I've added the wording elsewhere, and hopefully that will help. We are doing a big push to get the last bit through, and appreciate you spreading the word through your networks. ---Capra

      I'm not sure how I stumbled into this project, but it sounds very cool. I do know that it was not one of the projects that came up when I did a search for "Burning Man". You could probably attract more backers if it was...

Firebulb makes inspiring large scale art using flame as one material. A collaboration between Capra J'neva, Latisha Strickland, Elodie Massa and Peggy Foy, Firebulb's art is the culmination of each of their talents and experience as artists, designers, metal and fabric workers. Their collaboration was born out of the fun they've had working together on other successful large scale art and performance, and brings them together to make something spectacular for 2012's Burning Man. The artists have previously successfully funded and built 2010's Aeolian Pyrophonic Hall using Kickstarter and a grant from the Burning Man organization.
