I finally got round to buying some chain for my girl with a balloon necklace and finished it off. I love how it turned out, its just the right size and looks really cute with a simple tshirt. I think she might have a tendency to flip over because the chain going to her lower hand is a bit too low, possibly should have attached it to her pony tail, but i dont think it'll be a problem when its on. All in all, i l-o-v-e her!

Girl with Balloon necklace - 2nd try
So the first attempt at this was successful but had a major flaw. So this is version 2.0 (been a few of those recently!)
before baking
after baking (one girl folded over on to herself so she didnt make it!)
Now hopefully the holes are big enough to get the jump rings through so i can create the necklace!
Update - Finished item :)

Balloon girl pendant
I love Banksy's Girl with Heart Balloon and wanted to make a necklace of something similar. The spending embargo is still full force so i thought id experiment with some shrinky dinks i had.
I'm rubbish at drawing so I just copied a girl silhouette i found online and drew some balloons free hand (a massive accomplishment for the girl who repeatedly got Fs in art class for years!)
I drew them about 2/2.5 time bigger than i wanted and then punched some holes in them and baked them as per the instructions. And i l-o-v-e how its turned out :)
Then i spotted a huge error, can you see it?...

Theres suppose to be two chains between the girl and the balloons and then they all go on a necklace. But where exactly am i planning on attaching the girl and the balloons to the rest of the necklace?! That's right, not enough holes by half!
So i'll need to remake them but i'm still pleased with my first attempt efforts :)
