5th May - Cactus

Here is a Cactus, I came up with the idea a few days ago when I heard someone mention that they had made a cactus but I never got to see any photos of it, so I thought I would have a go.

It is made from 5 balloons, a green 350 is the main trunk and then 2 green 260s are added on using raisin twists. the pot is made from a 350 and a 260.

4th May - Flying Saucer

Yesterday I went to climb Milk hill in Wiltshire as part of another blog I am doing (which you can find here), In the past Milk hill became famous for its crop circles and UFO sightings, as today is Star Wars day (May the fourth be with you) I have decided to do something space themed and so here is one of the UFOs I didn't spot while climbing Milk hill.

It is made from 3 balloons, a 5" round, a 350 and a 260.

3rd May - Captain Hook's Hook

I have to thank Dan at KJ Entertainments for this one, I actually made it after copying his design to enter into a fun competition to see who can replicate the design the best, not sure how well I did but I can imagine this would go down really well at a pirate party. Thanks Dan

Its made from 3 balloons, a red 260, a silver 260 and a brown 360.

2nd May - Sea Lion

Last week I had an email from Nick, Nick is from Indonesia and is an expert balloon modeller, he does some wonderful creations, his sunflowers are awesome and so are his endangered species balloons, the most amazing thing about Nick is the fact that he is 10, wow I wish I had his talent when I was 10. You can check Nick and his balloons out at his website - http://www.nicorner.com.

I asked Nick if I could replicate some of his balloons and he was kind enough to say yes, so here is the first, a Sea Lion. This sea lion is made from 4 balloons, I used 1 grey 260 balloons for the body and head, the rest of the balloons I managed to use scraps of white, beige and black 260s. Thanks Nick.

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.
