12th March - Lobster

This lobster was inspired by the balloonist Pascal Grooten from Belgium, he makes some amazing models and it is worth looking at some of his work. My lobster is made from 12 balloons in total, this consists of 1 red heart balloon, 3 red round balloon, 5 x 260s, 2 x 160s and a black 260, he took me 90 minutes to make.

This lobster brings my balloon count up to 70 since January 1st and I am still going strong (I think) , if I want to do a year then there is only 295 days to go (eeek).

23rd February - Crab

Its day 2 of the worlds largest magic convention in Blackpool and I thought I would make something with my new balloons to do with the seaside. Mr Crab is made from 3 x 260 balloons and he took me about 2 minutes to make.
