Merry Go Round - Photo Inspiration Challenge

It''s time for another ride on the merry-go-round! Jump on and join a group of 9 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 a photo challenge.  We all submitted a photo and then we voted on the one we found most inspiring.  Our challenge was then to create something inspired by the photo. 

Here is the photo that got the most votes:

The colors seemed such an important part of the photo so I decided to not use silver but get back to doing some anodized aluminum or anodised aluminium - depending where you live!

Here are the earrings that I made - inspired by the photo:



I think they capture the "happy"  and "fun" style of the photo too.


They are very slightly domed so circles, on circles, on circles..


I hope you'll check out how the happy water balloon photo inspired the other merriers by clicking on the links below.  We live in many different places around the world which means different time zones so some may post later than others.

Thanks for looking.

Great result, Ruth! I had to laugh when I read your comment as indeed, the brooch I started is looking like a bunch of grapes now as I had to fill up the gaps to make a mould. I don't like it very much so I might change plan.
I love the challenge but started too late...
