Three Muses Challenge 25 - Keys

This week Bev has challenged us to use a KEY in our artistic endeavours. I thought I would try a little steam punk for this theme, and where else to place the key, but the balloon!

Thanks for another inspired challenge Bev.

  2. Yes, the Blog has been behaving in mysterious ways today but seems to be back to normal.
    Fantastic take on the challenge, Ann. I love your surreal take which is also whimsical and thought provoking (I am worried about what is going to happen when the key is inserted in the balloon!!). Great work.

  5. So now we have a clockwork balloon to go with my clockwork men - I wonder what happens when you wind it up?! Fascinating art as always from you Ann - I love how it makes you wonder.

  10. Oh so clever! Love just the thought of a key somehow being involved in the flying of a balloon. The gentleman looks quite pleased with the whole affair!
