Full of hot aira by Dona S, Colorado Springs, CO. The sculpture features a faux fire to fill the balloon with hot air and lights to make it glow.
Sensational Scotch Tape Sculptures
Artists have been thinking outside the box with sensational sculptures made from Scotch packing tape.
The brand's annual contest has seen amazing entries including a life-size mermaid and full-scale car.
The U.S. firm set customers the challenge of creating imaginative art pieces just using rolls of the sticky tape.
Over a hundred entries, and 30,000 votes later, Jake Longenecker from Manheim, Pennsylvania scooped the $5,000 cash prize with Free Fallin', a skydiver made from 15.5 rolls of tape and inspired by WWII era paratrooper.
Jake explains: "My objective was to capture the action and intensity of such a simple and graceful act, such as falling through the sky. I accomplished this by uniformly wrapping parts of my own body with tape, which were later assembled into the skydiver."
Abigail Colety from Austin, Texas, won $1,000 as runner-up for Game Night, a depiction of two people playing draughts made using 9 rolls of tape.
Other entries included a bicycle, Spider-Man, Michelangelo's Creation of Adam, a ballerina on a tightrope and several dogs.

Mushroom coral (Fungia sp.) fluorescing green under blue light at night. Some species of coral emit a fluorescent glow. It is thought the glow may attract symbiotic algae, or protect the coral from the intense ultraviolet light of the sun in shallow water.

Ultraviolet Undersea Life
A new collection of photographs capture the beauty of underwater life.
Award-winning photographer Louise Murray has spent the majority of her years travelling the globe documenting awesome scenery and wildlife from every country she has visited.
During that time she has often dived underwater to photograph marine creatures amongst the coral reef.
Her latest collection was captured while diving in the dark waters of Tondoba Bay in the Red Sea of Egypt.
The fluorescent images occur when near an ultraviolet torch.
Highlights include a giant clam that appears dull under natural light but glows bright red under the blue hue; a pipefish hunting at night glows orange and camouflaged fish made visible by the ultraviolet torch reveal their florescent green pigment making them known to their prey.
In comparison to the muted browns, golds, pinks and blues of a coral reef during the daytime "it looks like Oxford Street at Christmas," says Louise.
The wildlife photographer uses a powerful blue light to stimulate photosensitive pigments in the marine life, which then emit fluorescent colours.
Louise explains: "Almost all these photographs were shot after dark as the sunlight masks the colours.
"The stronger the light the better the results, I have to filter my camera and eyes with a yellow mask so the true colours are revealed.
"It can be very exciting when I find a new kind of fi...
