13th August - Ellie the Labrador

This balloon is based on Ellie, a lovely Labrador who attended Chris and Amy's wedding, Ellie was amazinly well behaved and she is such a wonderful dog, I had been thinking of making Ellie into a balloon and then I had a message from her mum asking if I could do it, how could I resist?

Ellie the Balloon Labrador is made from 7 balloons, the muzzle is made from a 350, the tail is a 160, the rest is made from 260 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, then feel free to share it with your friends.

1st May - Snoopy

The other day Stu posted a comment on Facebook asking to see a Snoopy balloon, I have had a design in my mind for a while so was happy to have a go. Snoopy is one of Stu's favourites and he told me that if he could go back in time and meet any historical person it would be Snoopy, Well I can tell you Stu, Snoopy is alive and well, he resides in California in Knotts Berry Farm with all his friends.

In total the whole sculpture is made from 15 balloons, I started by making the Kennel, it is made from 9 x 260 balloons, Snoopy is made from 6 balloons, his face and bode are both white heart balloons, there are 3 raisin twists involved in holding them together, his nose is a bit of 260 and his ears and collar are 160s, finally his legs and arms are a 260.

11th April - Dalmatian

Today is day number 101 and what better animal to make today than 101 dalmatians (the other 100 are hiding off camera).

This dalmatian is made from 7 balloons and is a Dylan Gelinas design, Dylan uses brown balloons to make his into a normal dog so I switched the brown balloons for the white to make it a dalmatian.
