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/

30th May - Giraffe

Its my 150th day today, woohoo, 150 different balloons and still going. To celebrate I have made a giraffe, this design is from a balloon modeller in Hong Kong, I only know him by the name Indiespapa, thanks for this design.

The Giraffe is made from 4 balloons, there is a yellow 260, a white 260, a brown 260 and an orange round for the nose.

On another note, I did an interview for a lovely lady called Patricia Balloona recently, it is for her very cool balloon blog, you can see her blog and my interview here - http://patriciaballoona.wordpress.com/, I was very honoured to be included in her blog so thanks for that Patricia.

29th May - Swan

I have had a really busy day today making balloons at a local tourist attraction so tonight I have made a really simple balloon, it is a swan, made from just the 1 yellow 260 balloon, this is one of the first models I learnt many years ago.

28th May - Stegosaurus

This Stegosaurus is made from just 2 green 260 sized balloons, I used 1 for the head, legs and main body, the other one I used for the back plates and the tail.

27th May - Helicopter

This Helicopter is made from 8 balloons, I started with the framework of the main body with some blue 260s and then added in the round white balloon for the windows (a transparent balloon would have been cool here but I don't have any).

The nest step was to add the tail and tail rotor, then I added in the main rotor blades, finally I made the landing struts for it to sit on. 

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 I will update you on those nearer the time.

25th May - Platypus

Here is a Platypus, I am not totally sure if I like my design for this one but I guess he is ok, I will have another go later in the year with another design idea I have. There are 14 balloons used in this platypus, mostly 260s but with a 160 thrown in here, the 10 balloons does  include the 4 old yellow balloons I cut up to make the claws.
