Balloon Patterns

I share my yarn projects here and talk about exercise & life but not so much my work.  I guess that's because this is my personal blog and while balloons are lots of fun, they are also what I consider a job.  I love going to work most days, but it's still work.

so I've decided to add another blog with balloon patterns on it.  A few years ago we wrote several books of balloon instructions and since we don't publish them any more I've decided to post the patterns.  It will take awhile - one of the book has 60 different sculptures.

Here's the link if you're interested

Tuesday night jam

We've started jamming at Scooter's on the Plaza.  Tuesday nights at 6pm

I like this rose.  It's made with 3 hearts.  Not different enough for me to use it in line work, but great for decor projects.

Weekend in balloons

This weekend I made a carousel with balloons.  It was a lot of fun to spin.  I hope my bad video skills don't give you a headache.

Then for Mother's Day I made these sculptures

Balloons

Although you might not know it from the posts on this blog - I am a balloon artist.  Somehow I have stumbled across a way to get paid to play.  It's a pretty fun job.  Decided to share a bit of what I do.  After I retrieve files from my old hard drive I will post some instructions for making basic balloon sculptures.
