Ben Huggett Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Amazing kites. Had the privilege of seeing them all in person at the Antelope Island Stampede Festival outside Salt Lake City this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beach Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Well as the last two kites go up I just wanted to get all the rules in line for this auction / bid off........ 1. All bids will go to me personally to keep a running tally, you have to email me at [email protected] with your bid if it's not enough I will tell you where you need to start be at and we will go from there..... 2. If you are out bid I will contact you to see if you want to up your bid..... 3. The very last day I will take bids is Oct. 10th..... 4. If you are high bidder on the kite you own it and will be sent once all the charges clear the bank..... I know this is strange but then again so am I so it's now in your hands and remember bid often and bid high.... Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beach Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 This kite is by my good friend Jon Burkhart and as always the photos do it no real justice, his use of mixed media and the addition of place holes in the sail is just amazing..... He gave me a name for it but I named it "Trails of Night" cause it reminded me of an old story I once heard...... Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morrunya Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I would like to point out that the dots in the black fabric on this latest kite are actually small burned holes. Kinda cool, and worth making known. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauranyyfan Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I would like to point out that the dots in the black fabric on this latest kite are actually small burned holes. Kinda cool, and worth making known. HI guys.... ... and just to add to what Watty said, the holes are meant to "twinkle" like stars in the sky. It looked really cool when held up against the sky.

mousieo Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 A big congrats to Bazzer! I think everyone that built put major time and creativity into building these kites, and I would like to say thank you to all the builders. Lots of heart went into every one of the kites that was built for this event.... hours and time... from every single kite builder. Great things came out of this... and personally I feel like I won .. in the push that it gave me to be able to run with you big boys.. and feel like I put something out that I can be proud of. Thank you. and Congrats to all! Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
