Spot On

When life gives you lemons....you know the rest of that saying.

Here's a new take: When life gives you breast cancer, create a work of art. That's what Melissa Barron is doing this year at the annual Burning Man festival in the Nevada desert.

Last year Barron made this video - Crowning Glory - as the start of an art project that continues this year as she collects the hair of other women - cancer survivors and others - to weave into a tapestry then burn at the annual gathering.

Art, good works and fire? Of course it's today's HotSpot.
