29th June - Spongebob Squarepants

I didn't do a film Friday this week because it was Dom's birthday, so instead I am doing a celebrity Saturday, Its Spongebob Squarepants with his tennis racket for Wimbledon.

I recently learnt how to make an awesome Spongebob while on a balloon event this week, Robbie Furman had a brilliant and quick Spongebob, I wanted to change a few things and add a few bits so I changed the design a little and came up with this.

I think he is made from 16 balloons. You can keep up to date with all the latest news and sculptures by heading over to Facebook -www.facebook.com/mydailyballoon and hitting the 'like' button.

15th April - Skeleton

I have recently been asked to make something themed to the Mexican day of the dead so I figured it would have to be a skeleton with a bunch of flowers, sorry the photo is not too good but I finished him late last night and had to snap some pictures quickly as he is being delivered today.

He is made from about 16 balloons, there are 7 in the skeleton, 2 in the base and 7 in the flowers. I think his legs could have been a little longer but I think I like him.

14th March - Adventurer Chris

Its Chris's 30th birthday today and I had to think long and hard as to what balloon to make for him so in the end I just decided to make  . . . . him.      A few years ago Chris went to Africa to work with school kids and to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, so here is what I imagined he looked like on his travels with his backpack on.

Adventurer Chris is made from 16 balloons, I started with his body and sleeves out of 2 x 260 balloons, then I added his shorts and legs from another 260 balloon with a belt from a 160, next step was to attach his arms and the straps to the backpack, both from 160s.

Now it was time to make the backpack, this was made out of a large 646 balloon with a green 340 balloon for the sleeping bag, this was then all held together with the straps made from 160s, I now attached the backpack to the straps fixing it to adventurer Chris's back.

The final steps were to make Chris's head from a 260 with a 160 for the hair and then a tiny bit of 160 for his nose, finally I added a pair of legs and a pair of shoes.

Adventurer Chris took me a couple of house to make and photograph, all that leaves me to do is to wish the real Chris a happy birthday.
