21st July - Bird Brained

I am into the idea of hairbands at the moment and have been playing around with them a lot, here is a bird hairband made almost entirely from 160s except for his beak which was a bit of left over scrap balloon from a 260.

4th June - Parrot

I have made this Parrot a few times recently due to me having a few pirate shows to do, he always gets people talking. He is made from 7 balloons, 2 red x 260s, a black heart shaped balloon, a white 160 for the eyes, a yellow 260, a grey 160 and a brown 160. Having made him a few times now I can now make him pretty fast.

26th March - Tiki Tiki Bird

A couple of weeks ago Graham posted a photo onto the balloon chat forum of a balloon model made by someone who attended Twist and Shout, the annual Balloon twister Convention in the USA, I loved the model so much I just had to have a go at making him. I have no idea who made the original balloon and I cant even find the photo in the forum now but if it was you who came up with the design then let me know and I will credit you.

This Tiki bird is made from 6 balloons, I started with the blue 260 for the head feathers and wings, then added the beak and feet from another 260, next I added the chest from a white round balloon and then added in the eyes from a white 260 and a black 160, finally the branch is a 260 with a raisin twist to attach the birds feet to.

14th January - Parrot
