It's time for another ride on the merry-go-round! Jump on and join a group of 10 artists/crafts-women as they link around the world and tell you a little about their lives in art and craft.This month's topic is: An inspirational photo challenge. The idea is that we take a photo of something and then use that as an inspiration to create a new piece.
For my photo, I used one that I took while we were in San Miguel last week. On the main plaza, in front of the church, there were always people selling things - including a few people will lots of lots of balloons. I so wanted to see them lift off and fly into the sky......
But they stayed on the ground ;-(
However, it seemed such a great image and as I'm always looking for ways to include color in my pieces, I thought I'd try the balloon man idea:
and thus "Anyone can get carried away" was created!
It's a brooch and good reminder that sometimes it's good to keep hold of those strings, even if it seems a little scary, and just get carried away and enjoy the ride!
Hope you like him. Now head over to the other "merriers" and see what they came up with. As we are all on different time zones, please be patient if someone has yet posted their inspiration!
