I’ll be at a 4 day show at the International Bristol Balloon Fiesta again this year (12th – 15th August 2010). This is one of my favourite events because we camp on site and treat it as a little holiday. Last year the weather was gorgeous and the fiesta attracted its most ever amount of visitors so it should be even bigger and better this year.
Last year I decided at the last minute to make some plaques with hot air balloons on them. I only made 2 (silly me), and they both sold straight away. So this year I am getting prepared early and making a tonne of these plaques. People like to buy a trinket type item to show where they’ve been.
I’ve made plenty of plaques with the general simple landscape and a few balloons in the sky, but I’m not very creative at this sort of thing (I’m not keen on drawing!), does anybody have any other balloony-type ideas?
Interesting! I'd not heard of a ballooning festival before.
Could you not make an actual balloon shape with a basket rather than making tiles?
Such a simple and obvious idea, why didn't I think of that?! Thank you for your help!
have a wonderful time.

Love the balloons! I think Hot Air Balloons bring out our inner child and these look so whimsical! Stopped over from Kate's – thanks for sharing!
