The Mother Ship

Who is running the ship, you ask?
It’s easy to figure this one out; the one who is balancing a babe on one hip, while sweeping the floor, keeping score in a ballgame, keeping a watchful eye on a youngster swinging with abandon, stirring the pot of dinner stew and running a tight ship, all at once.
Behold: The Mother Ship!

One of a kind snow/sparkle globe with airship and tiny figures hovering above the rooftops of a city, past or future. When shaken, the globe swirls with iridescent glitter dust, wrapping the scene in sparkling fog effects. Handpainted wooden base with brass embellishments and etched plate.

The Prodigal Airship Returns

Voyage Beyond airship snow globe, Camryn Forrest Designs, Denver, Colorado

?

It was lost, really. Out there in the big infinite universe, sailing the unknown.

And I had no idea where it was.

Missing in Action. Hidden from sight. Unaccounted for.

The Voyage Beyond simply disappeared one day, when we were moving things around. And then, months later, someone moved a box, and another box, and pushed aside some sheer curtains we use to keep the sun away on hot afternoons, and at the bottom of this assortment of odds and ends was a box with a globe inside.

The Voyage Beyond had returned.

No one should sail alone. This airship will be making the next trip WITH us, on the way to the Seattle area mid-June for the Edmonds Art Festival. Feel free to stop by and shake the airship into the shimmering clouds of mystic fog.  Well, IF we can find it. You never know.

Black Sails

Have you ever heard the saying, “that ship has sailed?”
I planned to take a series of fabulous photos of our newest airship snow globe when we got back to Colorado after showing at the spring One of a Kind show in Chicago, but …

that ship has sailed. It was purchased and is off on a new adventure, somewhere in Illinois.

Here are a few snaps we took during the making of “Black Sails” that may inspire us to make another someday.

When shaken the globe glitters with darker glitter, reminiscent of thunder and lightning. Hand-painted base with metallic patina effect and brass rivets.

Grand Adventure balloon

Ever feel like it’s time for a Grand Adventure, but you don’t know exactly where you want to go? Remember the wise words of Lewis Carroll: If you don’t know where you are going you are sure to get there.
The urge to be somewhere else, but nowhere specific, is the perfect occasion for a journey by balloon. Pack a picnic basket and your favorite fellow traveler and let the wind take you.

Arrrr, it’s the pirate’s life for me!

When one is in the mood to be dastardly, not just any ship will do. The Renegade is just that: a lone wolf gone off to seek fortune and adventure where it might be found.

 

When shaken, the ship disappears into the clouds. Renegade Airship snow globe, Camryn Forrest Designs, Denver, Colorado
