Comments: I’ve wanted to do an airship for awhile, and the theme for this exchange seemed ideal.  Especially as Wanda liked kites, and I figured that might extend to balloons.  My airship is a chimera cobbled together from images of dirigibles, hot air balloons and pirate ships.  It sails through the air amid the clouds and stars.  As usual, I’ve added my spiral initials, this time hidden in the cloud.
