For the next 2 weeks our challenge at TRY IT ON TUESDAY is called 'Flying High'.
So anything that flies in any form - which gives lots of scope!
I have made a few sparkly things for Christmas (the post is here if you want to look) and lately have fiddled about making a few pictures which no doubt will appear on my blog at some point!
This one though is quite a large piece, which I have made for a crafting friend for her birthday.
My hot air balloon is made up of all bits from the costume jewellery box and a few pearls from my stash.
The top is a necklace (disappointed as pic doesn't show the sparkle really - the edges of it are tiny rhinestones which really do catch the light!) and the 'basket' at the bottom is a large earring
The focal point in the centre was a necklace and I added a teardrop shaped earring at the bottom - mainly to fill the space!
I used pieces from a bracelet and some silver chain (that was a nightmare to glue without leaving marks)
Normally I put pieces of jewel art onto a black background but thought blue was better for this piece.
Hope you can find time to join us for this challenge!
Thanks for looking - appreciate you taking the time. x

This is gorgeous Viv. And what a good way to use its of broken or old jewelry.
Oh My Viv! This is absolutely fantastic! I'm impressed by the patience it must have taken as well as your excellent artistic skills to create this! You also have one lucky friend! Hugs, Chrisxx
I take my hat off to you Viv as this is a masterpiece using your bits of costume jewellery in a very creative way to make this wonderful balloon, and glueing this must have been a nightmare, and the white dimensional frame shows it off brilliantly as does the background very rich tone of blue..a fabulous piece of art! x
This is so creative, what a beautiful gift xx
Such a clever way of using this unwanted costume jewellery to produce this beautiful hot air balloon picture. Your friend will love it, I'm sure. A very innovative repurposing.
A stunning creation, Viv, great recycling of the costume jewellery.
