Twisting Balloons can be Hard Work

Balloons feel great.  They bop around, they're filled with air.  Lightweight.  They smell good.  They move gracefully.  They're even attractive when they get old and wrinkly.  And I love that little nozzle at the end where it's tied.

But whew, this pretty balloon was Haaaard to make.  It felt like I was free when I finished it.









 I felt like I was mangling the heart-shaped balloons that I was told to use for this design.  I'm going to work on it.  I'm going to come up with a similar design that will be as much fun to make as to play with.

Candy Cane

another day of dreaming up balloons.

as a child, I remember feeling attracted to the absolute Beauty of candy canes.  Then feeling so disappointed at the unexpected flavor.  (Peppermint was the original candy-cane flavor.)  But that beauty got me every time.  The red and white.  Gracefully swirling.

and here we can enjoy the Beauty without the disappointment.  Bigger.  Expanded with aaaair.  
Beauty itself feels so good.

This is for You

Hi ~ I'm posting tonight for a client who asked to see Balloon Samples. Here are some from a recent Party. And you can find others if you want to scroll through the rest of the blog. Mostly Face-Paintings here. Because the excitement of Balloon Fun doesn't lend itself to taking photos as easily as when I'm doing individual Face-Paintings. It's all good: to hire this artist: optidust@gmail.com (516)579-4706
