26th July - Crown

After making a royal baby with a crown earlier this week I was inspired to make a bigger wearable crown, It is made from 8 balloons, 

I actually made the 6 little round jewel bubbles first out of a 260 and put them to one side, next I inflated 6 gold 260 balloons and weaved them together and joining them at the too, a round balloon was next and that was given a tulip twist and secured into place, finally I used the remainder of the gold balloons to make the cross and then I added the little red jewels around the base.

23rd July - Baby Prince

After the arrival of a new royal baby yesterday I felt I needed to mark the occasion with this, the first official photograph of the new royal baby, may I introduce our future king, King Kevin the first.

Weighing in at just 4 ounces (most of the weight is sand in the base balloon) he is made from 14 balloons, a mixture of 350s, 260s and 160s, I do like the gold balloons on the crown and on his rattle/sceptre, if your interested, the red balloon on the crown is a heart, it makes quite a nice shape.

Anyway, my congratulations goes to the real royal couple and their family, I don't think they are regular viewers of My Daily Balloon but if they do happen to look in, please do say hi. 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.

2nd April - Owl Three

This is the third owl I have made, I had several comments about the last owl I made on 20th Feb , some people seemed to think it looked nothing like an owl, I have since been told it does look like an owl, but enough of that owl and on to this one.

This owl is totally my invention, It is made from 8 balloons in total, 5 balloons for the owl and 3 balloons for the branches, the owl is made from gold 260 balloons, 1 yellow 260, a black 260 and a white round balloon.

The branch is a 350, a 260 and a 160 with the help from a few special twists to join them together.

17th March - Leprechaun

Its St Patricks day today and to celebrate I have made a leprechaun with his pint Guinness and pot of gold, It also happens to be international hug a ginger day tomorrow so I think my little leprechaun will be looking forward to that.

My Leprechaun is made from 17 balloons, I started with his face and hair from 2 x 260 balloons and then added the hat which is made from a 260 and a green heart balloon, next came his body and arms from another 2 x 260s and his legs and belt from 1 more 260, his hands are a 260 and the pot of gold is made from a 350, a 160 and a gold coloured 260, the Guinness is a 260 and 2 x 160s, finally I added his shoes and his belt buckle. The rainbow is made from 6 x 260 balloons (5 colours and 1 to hold them together)

I would also like to say happy birthday to Alexis, she is 16 today.
