The balloons are all 160s. 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.

30th June - Bunch of Roses

This bunch of roses is fairly easy to make, the petals are made from 1 x 160 balloon, all the stems are made from 2 x 160 balloons, the bow is another 160, so this arrangement is made from just 6 balloons.

12th June - Mini Flowers

These little flowers are all made from 160 balloons, the whole thing stands less than 10" tall (25 cm) and it is made from 9 balloons.

I am still away on holiday and as long as the technology is working you should still be seeing the daily balloons coming. 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.

31st May - Vase of Flowers

My Nan is arriving tomorrow and staying for the week so to brighten up the spare room I made her some flowers in a vase, it is a vase of 8 flowers and the whole thing is made from 17 balloons. 

The vase is made from 4 x 260s and I put a round balloon into the base filled with water for a bit of stability, you can't see this balloon.

The flower stems are made from 4 green 160s and the flowers are 8 x 160s.

Coming up on June 2nd, I will be doing a live balloon sculpture at the Aspex Gallery in Gunwharf Quays, Portsmouth, it is to help celebrate the Camp Bestival Around the World Tour, between the hours of 11am and 2pm I will be creating my biggest sculpture of the year so far (at nearly 6 feet across and 5 feet tall, eeek) there will be lots of other activities taking place in the gallery and and you can find out more about it here - http://www.strong-island.co.uk/2013/05/30/camp-bestivals-around-the-world-kids-disco-tour/

15th April - Skeleton

I have recently been asked to make something themed to the Mexican day of the dead so I figured it would have to be a skeleton with a bunch of flowers, sorry the photo is not too good but I finished him late last night and had to snap some pictures quickly as he is being delivered today.

He is made from about 16 balloons, there are 7 in the skeleton, 2 in the base and 7 in the flowers. I think his legs could have been a little longer but I think I like him.
