See gallery-quality detailed photos of all five Burleskimo Trays, alphabetical by artist name.

Heidi was the first to deliver her finished Burleskimo tray!

Heidi’s tray is so gorgeous in ridiculous monster cuteness, complete with google eye cotton poofs and a matching gingham neck strap with overalls clasps!

See more details in the Ice-Pics gallery.

Another amazing artist has been added to the illustrious Burleskimo Tray group: Heidi Iverson.

Skye cut her a lovely bubbly tray design that she will both illustrate and cover with fabric! See it in the Ice-Pics gallery.

Choklit’s Burleskimo stitchery is starting to take shape nicely!

EnterGallactica shines in the unembellished costume-in-progress and David gets fitted first thing in the morning, coffee in hand.

Can someone sing and sew at the same time…? Guess who can?

More work-in-progress photos from the studio of Eric Bostrom. Looks amazing!

I’m sooo excited to report that the “Burleskimos” will be carrying tempting treats for sale in cigarette girl type trays that are custom designed by local kewl artists!

Eric Bostrom designed this wonderful piece. I can’t wait to see the illustration to compliment this design. Skye deftly cut this one to Eric’s specs. See more of Eric’s amazing and prolific work at his artful site.

Other artists include Will Smith, Jacquie and Djuna (Spring and Todd Barricklow’s 6 year old and very creative daughter), plus I’m courting Meredith Hamilton and Phoebe Stewart Washer.

Note that the boxes will be put to good use during the event for selling goodies and then auctioned later to lucky collectors (let me be one, let me be one…).

The talented and lovely Choklit and Jacquie began work yesterday on the furrlicious Burleskimos costumes yesterday.

See the Ice-Pics gallery…

Look out people, we’ve got some sexy boys and girls to show off at the fundraiser.

2 BTWs:

1) Stay tuned to upcoming pictures documenting the incredible Burleskimo goodie trays as works-in-progress. FYI: The trays are being custom designed by local luminary underground artists such as Will Smith (see more work at Killing Time Studios) and Eric Bostrom (his diversionmary site).

More artists to come. These trays are going to be amazing and boo-tee-fool! I hope to get photos of each as they are built and illustrated.

2) Flyering is working folks! Strangers we meet are talking about the fundraiser before we even assail them with yet more flyers (which we do anyway)!

Last night at the fundraiser meeting, two teeny kittens were found in the land speeder! One did not even have hurr cyoot widdoh eyezz open yet.

=^-.-^=

See them in the Ice-Pics.

Other flø-tastic highlights include:

• Skye’s unveiling of a foamcore scale model of the van and trailer, ready for structural mockups of the icebergy bits.
• Plenty of great ideas flø-ing for the fundraiser such as the strategic use of free Otter Pops to get people Otter Dancing (while others must pony up a buck for the privilege),
• The all important lighting needs.People with blue and other rope lighting please stand up. We need your goods!
• How to make a club look icy-cave-like: plastic painters floor cover rolls and white sheets are to be used and also in need from donating folks.
• Bollywood dancers are go!
• Most importantly, the Ice-Flø flyers are here and ready to be passed out. Please contact Fudo for helping us hand them out in the local areas. Thanks!
