For the second time in 32 years, the fire department crashed the New Year's sculpture burn.
It's hard to hide a 10 foot fire ball when the Missionary Baptists are having a midnight celebration, right across the street.
We worked and laughed all day, busy building the ridiculous nest. It kept getting larger and larger.
The egg is a Japanese paper shade, lovely and white.
There is a large fountain firework inside the lantern. I had one chance to light it. As soon as it began, the entire structure would ignite quickly. Exactly as intended. Big spectacle, short duration.

The egg has officially hatched. Welcome 2013.
The whole thing didn't last ten minutes, and had burned down to an almost respectable "back yard campfire" as the fire marshal called it. She told me what was legal and gave us a pass. Thank god...
Anything you MUST do in 2013? Begin it!
Remember it's always better to beg forgiveness than ask permission.
