23rd July - Baby Prince

After the arrival of a new royal baby yesterday I felt I needed to mark the occasion with this, the first official photograph of the new royal baby, may I introduce our future king, King Kevin the first.

Weighing in at just 4 ounces (most of the weight is sand in the base balloon) he is made from 14 balloons, a mixture of 350s, 260s and 160s, I do like the gold balloons on the crown and on his rattle/sceptre, if your interested, the red balloon on the crown is a heart, it makes quite a nice shape.

Anyway, my congratulations goes to the real royal couple and their family, I don't think they are regular viewers of My Daily Balloon but if they do happen to look in, please do say hi. 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.

9th June - Baby Girl

I recently was asked to make a little baby girl for a baby shower and this is what I came up with, it is based on a design by Dylan Gelinas so I have him to thank for this. 

The baby (and her bear) is made from 9 balloons, a mixture of sizes, 160s, 260s, 350s and a blush 5" round balloon. When I returned home from dropping her off I got great delight in telling people I just delivered a baby.

30th January - Elephants

John requested Elephants the other day but I think my friend Julie will like these too, the large elephant is made of 5 balloons, a 260 for the trunk, 3 x 350s for the body, head and ears, plus a white 260 for the eyes. as for the little jumbo its just 4 balloons, its a 160 for the trunk, another for the eyes, then 2 grey 260s for the body, head and ears,  They are also bigger than they look, the big elephant was nearly a metre long from trunk to tail.
