...in my beautiful balloon! Well, Major Thomas's balloon really - just the sort of thing to take Lady Ermintrude for a jaunt. The theme at SanDee and amelie's blog this month is balloons and it gave me a chance to complete a project I've been thinking about for some time.
I began with this Christmas Bauble -
And after some work with paint and GIlder's Paste finished with this...
As well as the paint and gilder's paste, I used a curtain ring, some chain, a bottle top, a bit of net and German scrap, and a flag made with a bit of cocktail stick and a stamp from Clarity. And yes, I shall be hanging the finished item on the Christmas tree!
