Balloon!
I mentioned in my previous post that there was a repeat order for two more steampunk hot air balloons from the person who bought the first one, so here they are.
Orange and yellow

She had indicated that she wanted one to have a yellow and orange stripe pattern and the other to have green and teal, so here’s the second balloon…

Both have the patina of age and the copper and brass look that I use on my steampunk pieces.
So now I’m off and running on yet another steampunk hot air balloon and several other airships. The fun never ends!
As always, I encourage comments and dialogue. Drop me a line to ask questions, make suggestions or order a custom airship of your very own!
