The Mother Ship

by

0

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.

Where the Wind Blows

Where the Wind Blows sparkle globe Camryn Forrest Designs Denver Colorado

Haven’t you ever wanted to let someone else make all the decisions, or let something decide for you?

Climb into a balloon, rise into the sky, and let the wind carry you to places you can only imagine.

But you aren’t an innocent bystander taken for a ride. You decided this: to let go, to let the wind blow, to decide not to decide.

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.

Coming Home to Sky Island City

Imagine a city in the sky, a floating island of bustling industry. Airships carry passengers and supplies from land to land, from cloud to cloud. The island is a blink in the eye of the universe; it is the entire world for those who live there.

Does the world come to visit the Sky Island City, or does the city ride the movement of the sky, and venture far and wide to visit the world?

 

See “Sky Island City” and other custom snow globes a the steampunk exhibition “Odd Beauty” at the Southampton Arts Center, Southampton New York, September 23 through November 12, 2017.  The Odd Beauty Exhibition is curated by artist/author Art Donovan.
“Sky Island City”, one of a  kind sparkle snow globe with two “inhabited” clay islands, floating gently in the clouds, with tiny airships, and sky full of possibilities. When shaken, the liquid sky fills with gentle copper and green glitter dust. Weathered clay cliffs wrap the globe base.

Moonlight Ride

Silent as the stars, carried on the wind, a lone balloon on a moonlight ride. Over the sleeping city, dancing in the wisps of fireplace smoke and weaving over a thousand dreams below.

When shaken, the liquid fills with sparkling black dust and tiny reflective glitter; the sky is alive with comets and shooting stars.

Gearly Beloved

Step one, make a tiny hat, then add tinier goggles.

Step Two, float a headless goggled hat, a bowler to be specific, in the lazy liquid of a snow globe.

Step Three, shake the globe. When shaken, fill the liquid with swirling dark mystery, and a gaggle of tiny gear-shaped metallic bits, and one — just one — black top hat confetti piece.  (Yes, it’s there, in the photos, but you have to really want to see it.)
