6th June - Mallard Duck

Here is another Dylan Gelinas design, it is such a brilliant looking duck, you can check out the youtube tutorial for it here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYvqlMC-UwI

He is made from 7 balloons, a mixture of 160s, 260s and a 350 balloon. 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.

21st April - Ducky

This duck is made from just 5 balloons and is pretty quick to make, its made from 3 yellow 260 balloons, 1 orange 260 and a little bit of white 260. I started with the head, neck and beak then I added on the eyes, next I made the body and finally added on the legs. I have been experimenting with drawing different types of eyes recently too, instead of just a round black blob I have tried to add a bit of character.

1st April - Easter Bonnet

I had a recent request from my sister to make an Easter bonnet for my little niece Erica, all my nieces and nephews are entering an Easter bonnet parade today and my sister thought it would be a good idea for Erica to have a balloon bonnet.

This photo is NOT a picture of my niece, I decided to use my bear as a model for the bonnet instead, Erica is not quite as hairy as this. The Easter bonnet is in 2 parts, firstly the hat part, it is made from 11 balloons, I started with a flower weave for the main base and then added the outer rim, all I needed to do next was add the flowers around the edge.

The little duckling on top is one of the designs from Dylan Gelinas, he is called Hiccup the duck and is available from Dylans website at http://www.slightlytwistedballoons.com.
