Balloon Festival Fantasy

 Stave, 300 pieces. I picked up several of these early Staves on eBay; this one was the first I did. Super interesting, with some hints of what was to come. Very tight (possibly age); unusual arrow connector throughout; somewhat more Par-like whimsies than eventual Stave style; mostly very large pieces (but, reflecting a common issue with cutters starting out, there were occasional out-of-scale whimsies, in this case tiny ones). 6/10 super interesting.

interacting whimsies

more interacting/nearly interacting whimsies

acrobats

color line cutting to create a whimsy

parachutist

basket of people--unusual in that not all the whimsies are full whimsies
