You can now order Caricatures on Balloons

Sometimes when I'm doing Balloon Twisting, I'll draw a few Caricatures onto the Balloons.  Started out as 'Caricature on Balloon' attached to a 'Balloon Stick' (like when we make Heart Wands or Flowers ~ can be held with another Balloon that functions 'as a stick'). 

They do so well ~ they are so delightful ~ that I've been accepting Events that want Only the Balloon Caricatures.  WithOut the 'stick'.  That's a very important part of it ~ because the Most Fun is to bop Your Image around in the aaaaiiiir..... balloon style....  feels so good......  so peaceful













If you want to make sure your Party Entertainment is for the Caricatures On Balloons, make sure to tell me when you hire me for Your Party.  So I'll be sure to bring the right Supplies.

Balloon Twisting At the Party

I don't feel like I ever got a chance to post pictures of some of the Balloons that I twisted at that Chinese New Year Party ~ from Months ago.  Happens. 

Here's a few of them.  My Balloon Parties are so Upbeat.  We are all so familiar with simple designs like the Basic Balloon Dog, that we might forget that we all have to use our Imaginations to 'Name That Balloon'.  But my Style of Balloon Twisting encourages that.  My Style tempts the Party Guests to let loose and have fun. 

Simple wholesome Fun.

Oh dear ~ I haven't had access to all the programs on my Computer for a while.  I had to post each picture individually. 

So what we have here in this post is one each from all sorts of different Events.  Chosen randomly.   Party Balloons.   It's actually kinda nice to see this eclectic collection from all sorts of Parties

Balloons for Chinese Zodiac

Got to Switch Gears!  Just booked a Party for Tomorrow!  Balloons!  And my Client said "It's a Party for the Chinese New Year".  And she would like the "Children to be able to choose the Animals of the Chinese Zodiac" for me to Twist. 

Oh Oh K.  I was at a restaurant ~ Quick, some paper please?  The waitress gave me a few little pieces of paper.  I started coming up with some Balloon Ideas.   So far, I got the Pig and the Rooster.

Last-minute Booking

I was coming home from an amazing long day of drawing FASHION SKETCHES at a Corporate Event in NYC ~ When I was contacted by a new Client.  That was just before I got on the LIRR Train to come home.  By the time the train 'landed' in Wantagh, I had booked a BALLOON Twisting Party for the next day ~ less than 24-Hours notice!

Happily scrambling around ~ getting travel directions, clothes, refreshing my BALLOON Supplies, making new Signs......  Barely slept before I ran into the 1-year-old boy's Party.  The Children were Wonderful.  The Babies were so... Babies!  The Adults were gracious and appreciative.  The BALLOONS were so much Fun ~ as always.  Oh ~ It felt like a Whirlwind of Happy Joy!

When I got home (since I'm already ready for tomorrow's booked-well-in-advance CARICATURE Event at an Assisted Living Center), I was able to develop some more ideas I came up with at today's BALLOON Party.  I'm building a knot-tying-assister and adding Heart Wands to my Go-to Sign.  And I put Business Cards into my Supply bag ~ hoping I don't forget them next time.

And Wow!  I'm still feeling sooo Happy.  My Client still thought of me ~ took the time to send me the following email: 

Thank you so much for today and on such short notice.  The kids loved you. 

 I hope I get around to checking out the Photos that I took at the Party.   Hoping I'll get a chance to post some on this blog.

Trying to Photograph Unicorns

Here's a photograph of one of the BALLOONS that I created at a Child's Party.  We had So Much Fun!  But how best to capture a Unicorn.  From the Side?  From the Front?

Alison is amazing.  This is my second time having her create Caricatures, first at my granddaughters 1st birthday party and now at a 30th and 60th birthday celebration,  She arrives ahead of time and is fully prepared, she has a great personality and everyone loved her.  The caricatures were absolutely great and many of my guests told me they can't wait to frame them.  She is so talented and really added that extra "specialness" to the party.

Jaclyn Cooper
5 Star Rating ~ the Highest Rating Possible
From the start Alison was extremely helpful in answering all my questions and was easily accessible.  She did not disappoint.  We used her for our son's first birthday party and she was a huge hit!  The caricatures were incredible and made everyone laugh.  Would definitely recommend using her for any event.

Balloon Dog

Just keeping the kids Happy at today's BALLOON Twisting Party.  The boy said he wanted a Dog on a Leash.  Then he came back and said he wants me to make a Bone for the Dog and attach it to him.  Lol I'm laughing.  This is so much Fun

Quality Supplies

 I respect that people are paying good money to make their experience Special ~
I don't scrimp on the Supplies that I bring to an Event.

Even when I have the 'usual' Colors, they are high quality.  And sometimes I try out something new.  This time, even I felt wowed by the Color of this Balloon.  I gotta get more of these!

Beautiful Lines

Picking up the pace from the more complicated Unicorn Balloons, I had an opportunity to scale back on this one.  I stopped at this point because the Lines of the design just came out sooooo Graceful

Minnie Mouse Theme Party

Little Children want to have Fun at the Party.  We have to set it up for them ~ We have to make it happen for them ~ So they can have the Childhood we would want them to have. 
Sometimes it's something as simple as Balloons.  It's so much Fun to watch them Enjoying their Balloons.  Here are some photos from the Minnie Mouse Theme Party:

Getting Ready for Minnie Mouse Theme Party

It's a good thing I'm always learning new stuff.  It's a good thing I learned that Mickey Mouse Balloon recently.  Because I've already been hired to Twist Balloons at a Party that has a Mickey Mouse theme.

Sooo....  I practiced them at home:

Balloon Unicorn Hat

Getting ready for a Balloon Event this weekend.  Getting back in to Balloons. 

I made this Unicorn (can be worn as a Hat if desired).  A little big if there turns out to be a lot of people at the Party ~ so I plan on being ready to make simpler Unicorns if needed.  But this one is just soooo nice
