A few more hot air balloon pics from yesterday since today's weather once again flipped Albuquerque the bird 😅🥲. NGL, this year's Balloon Fiesta hasn't been the greatest, but hopefully tomorrow (the last day) will be phenomenal 🤞🙌🤞!

Finally! A day where the weather cooperated and sent the balloons our way 🤩🙌💃! I've been waiting for this all week lol! Hopefully the next few days will be kind to me too because, IMO, a week for Balloon Fiesta is nowhere near enough 😜!

What's on the bead board at the moment you ask? More hot air balloon earrings for the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta lol 🙌! I really do enjoy making these 🥰.

More Balloon Fiesta fun; neither of these turned out how I was expecting, but that's the controlled chaos of fluid art lol. Also, the balloon on the right is literally the worst ring pour I've ever done, but I don't hate it lol 😂.

Working on another project for the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta: fluid art/paint pour balloons! I'm thinking of finishing these wood cutouts as hanging decor 🤔 but am also open to other ideas and suggestions 🧐😃. Please drop me a comment with what you would do 🤩!

Another morning, another pair of balloon earrings finished 😜. I wasn't able to get the zia design to work with the stitch I've been using so I opted for another one that allows the straight lines and room I needed. Ta-da 😄🙌!

Another pair of hot air balloon beaded earrings for Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta is in the works 😃! The prototypes I posted previously were made by swapping peyote stitch for square stitch when I began working on the baskets, but I decided that was a bit finicky and opted to change the whole thing to peyote 😜. You definitely need a thinner thread for this because one cluster of beads gets several passes through, but other than that; it's absolutely easier 😁!

Not gonna lie, it's not often I'm this hyped to share something I've made 😜.

I FINALLY ordered the beads needed to finish my prototype balloon earrings! I'm super glad I did it before our annual balloon fiesta that's held at the beginning of October came and went 🙃😅.

Any balloon pilots or chase crew members in the house 👀? What do you think? How'd I do?
