19th June - Captain Barnacles

Well Shiver me whiskers, sound the Octo-alert, its Captain Barnacles the polar bear from the TV show Octonauts, I know there are many people out there who will be pleased to see this, I seem to remember Arty liking the Octonauts, I hope you all like him.

Captain Barnacles is made from 9 balloon, the head is a round 11" balloon with the body from 260s and then various other bits from other 260s and 160s. I used 3 raisin twists in the white round balloon, 1 for each ear and 1 for his nose.

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.

16th March - Winnie the Pooh

This balloon model came out of a practice run for something else, I started to make one thing then suddenly diverted into making Winnie the Pooh.

Winnie is made from 11 balloons (I think), I started with the head from a yellow 260 sized balloon then added the nose with a bit of black. The tummy came next from another 260 and then I added the red t-shirt to to top of this from a 260, next I made the legs and feet from another 260 and finally I added the arms from 1 x red 260 and 1 x yellow 260s.

The Honey (or Hunny) pot is made from a 350 and a 160 with a little bit of left over 260 for the knob on top, finally the blue round 5 inch balloon is made from a blue round 5 inch balloon (no surprise there then).

I drew the bees in Photoshop and added them on afterwards.

10th March - A Bear Holding a Heart

This cute bear was taught to me by Balloonatic Kevin from Weymouth, he kindly shared his balloon wisdom at a recent balloon modelling event so thank you Kevin.

Bear is made from 7 balloons, I started with a 350 for his ears, part of his face and his torso, then I added a small piece of a 260 and a round balloon, next I added the eyes, His legs are made from another 350 and his arms another 260, finally I added in a heart balloon.

Both my own Mum and Nats Mum (Annie) got one of these each for Mothers day today.

25th February - Little Bear

I am home from the worlds largest magic convention in Blackpool with 3800 balloons purchased from various places. I made this little bear after seeing Graham make some other little bears on the balloon chat forum. He is made from 3 balloons, all 260s.

9th February - Polar Bear

So, this is meant to be a Polar bear, I am not too sure if I like it, I guess he is ok, he is made of 2 white 260 balloons, 1 for the head, front legs and part of the body, ans another for the body, and back legs, the nose is just coloured black with a sharpie pen.
