I combined my whimsical hot air balloons with my butterflies! This piece is thought provoking with a sense of freedom, dreams, success, love and adventure! "Imagine the Impossible"....because that's where the magic begins...and anything is possible!
Serene blues and turquoise with blasts of stunning oil slick metallic details on a truly 'PURE' raku fired background! To me this is what raku is all about! Where the smoke penetrates the clay during the firing, to give these wonderful matt slate, greys and soft black finish! The colours in this piece will change as you walk past or as the lighting changes throughout the day...
Whimsical hot air balloons, have such a sense of adventure, excitement and freedom! The perfect gift for so many occasions! This piece has lots of my NEW hot air balloons that are even 'more' 3D than before! Making the piece really come to life and gives such an amazingly uplifting feeling...
For anyone who has experienced the atmosphere of love and romance in beautiful Venice, with it's gondolas and sunshine, this piece should definitely evoke some nostalgic images and emotions! And even if you have not been, the romantic message can still be visualised and captured in your mind! It has a little more of a contemporary feel than most of my other designs, but oozes romance, love and passion, with it's sun kissed metallic shimmers on the water.
