Grand Ballon Captif a Vapeur Series Necklace
This is my entry in ArtBeadScene's October Challenge, the theme of which is an interpretation of a primitve folk art or outsider art painting by Ruby C. Williams.
I was inspired by the bold colors in the painting, and went looking for bold, colorful imagery in vintage advertising art. I thought these Vintage images of a 19th century French Balloon Show were perfect. The colors are a bit more muted than the Williams painting, but they are still rich and striking and draw they eye, much like the painting.
I created the polymer clay pendant and the "balloon" beads with copper end caps. I accentuated the polymer components with 28mm fluted, copper beads which mimic the shape of the balloons and the wire cables attached to them; and for a pop of color, red sponge coral saucer beads with copper end caps and a large, twisted copper toggle clasp.
