16th August - Fish Ten

This is the 10th Fish I have made, I wasn't going to make any more for a while but then I decided to have a go at a fun competition in a balloon forum to make this exact fish and as I hadn't made him before I thought it would be good to have him as today's balloon.

He is the design of Stuart (aka Areyouhappydad) and I think he looks cool, he is made from just 2 balloons, a 5" round make up the body and lips, then a 160 make up the rest, thanks Stuart.

I now have 2 tutorials available on MDB extra, the cute bunny and now the plane. they are both available for free on the blog or you can purchase the PDF for a small fee. You can keep up to date with all the MDB news by clicking like on the facebook page at -  https://www.facebook.com/MyDailyBalloon

On another note I had a lovely message from Helen who followed the bunny tutorial on MDB Extra, she wanted a cute bunny for a little girls birthday and this is what she came up with, thank you Helen, I LOVE the hutch, you have put so much work into this, its all the little extras which make it so good.

If you want to send me photos of your versions of any of my balloons then I would love to see them and I can feature them on my blog like I did with Helen's, send any photos to robbieaibm@live.co.uk or message me on the facebook page.

4th August - Diplodocus

This is a rather simple Diplodocus, for some reason I seem to remember the Diplodocus being renamed or something but I just googled him and he seems to still exist (well not actually exist as they are extinct, but you know what I mean). he is made from just 2 balloons, both of them 260s and he takes just a few minutes to make.

30th July - Mini Monkey

Awwww its a cute little monkey, his body and head sit at just 5 inches tall but his tail makes him around 10 inches tall, I love little sculptures like this, they make people go, "ahhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Mini Monkey is made from 2 x 160 balloons, he is very quick to make and the kids love him/her (depending on eyelashes). 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, then feel free to share it with your friends.

27th July - Bunny Ears

Here are some bunny ears on a hairband, easy to make and it only uses 2 balloons, they are a grey 260 and a white 160, it is simple to make and looks really cute. This is the first photo with my new camera as well, I was having so many problems with my last one so decided to take the plunge and get a new one.

18th July - Lightning Bolt to the Head

I made this the other day at a party after someone asked me to make a sculpture, they wanted anything that I had never attempted to make before, I was standing thinking about what I could make and I initially thought about a light bulb on a hair band but then the lightning bolt idea hit me and that is what I made, its made from 2 balloons, both 260s.

17th July - Monster Eyes Two

Here is another Monster eyes hairband, I originally just had the purple balloon on there and imagined they were ears but now I have added the eyes I think they have become wings, in fact I think it looks like a stingray or something, the thing with ballooning is that sometimes you start out making 1 thing and by the end it comes out as something totally different.

13th July - Chain

Its an easy one today as I have a really busy day of shows. I have made this chain a few times recently in various lengths and colour for different things, Its great to add to a decoration, or to use it at a party to attach things to. it can be made in 1, 2, 3 or 4 colours and is either made from 2 or 4 balloons, this one is 2 balloons.

12th July - Bunny Five

I originally was meant to do another balloon for a friend today but I am currently away and it's a bit difficult to do so I will do that balloon design soon. Have I really done 4 rabbits all ready this year? yes I have and I expect I have more to come as well. This rabbit is made from just 2 balloons (or 1 and a scrap of black), they are both 260s and its pretty easy to make taking a couple of minutes, I think it looks a lot more life like than some of the other rabbits I have made so far this year.

2nd July - Simple Butterfly

A couple of friends recently had a go at balloon modelling, one of then was asked to make a butterfly and I ended up recommending this one, it is made from 2 balloons and is fairly quick to make.

I am away camping at the moment and I am uploading this from a farm near the Welsh border, fingers crossed it all works, I have faith in the technology.

1st July - Heart

This may look like a simple sculpture, you can buy heart shaped balloons, they measure about 6 inches across or 15 inches across and come in a range of colours, this little heart was NOT made from a heart shaped balloon, it is made from a standard 260 balloon, they can also be made from a 160 and a 350. I must thank Antonio Becarus for sharing this technique with me at a recent balloon event, thanks Antonio.

This little heart measures around 2" across, I used 1 balloon for the heart and 1 x 160 for the white base. 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.

I first made these Fish Bones the other evening while playing around at a balloon jam so I thought I would make another one today, its just made from 2 x 160s, you could probably make it from just 1 x 160 if you made it smaller.

30th April - Revolver

For some unknown reason, my mate Clint seems to think I am obsessed with guns, I can't think what gave him that idea, never mind, anyway, onto today's balloon, a gun.

This gun was taught to me by Graham back in March, Its not something I would ever make at a kids party as I am actually pretty anti gun.

This revolver is made from 2 x 160 balloons and does not take too long to make, just a couple of minutes.

23rd April - Rhino

I love this little Rhino, Graham showed me how to make it back in March and I just love how he looks, he is made from just 2 balloons, although the white balloon is just an old scrap I found so I guess its only 1 and a bit balloons.

17th April - Hippos

Here is a hippo and her baby, I made this after Nat showed me a photo of a couple of hippos.

Each hippo is made from just the 1 balloon, mummy hippo is a 260 and baby hippo is a 160.

13th April - Present

This little present is a great addition to other balloon creations, I have been able to make these for a while but I recently saw Dylan Gelinas make a slightly different but better version so I now make them like this.

Its just 2 balloons, a red 350 and a yellow 160, pretty easy to make and is done in just a few minutes.

6th March - New Flower

Today I met some lovely people who taught me how to make a new type of flower, it took me a while to get to know the weave but I got there in the end, this takes just 2 x 160 balloons, 1 for the petals and 1 for the stem. There will be different variations of this flower and weave coming up in the future.

27th February - Top Hat and Bow Tie

Its 2 balloon models for the price of one today, a top hat and a bow tie, the hat is made of 13 x 260 balloons  (12 black and 1 white). The bow tie is made from 2 x 260s, It would make an excellent Mad Hatters hat I think with the addition of a price tag.
