I'll admit to doing a giddy little dance when I stumbled into the design.

Balloon Chit Chat / Re: Balloon domain name for sale
April 10, 2013, 06:10:18 PM
I looked into acquiring balloonanimals.com once.

They wanted $7,000 US for it.

The domain has been squatting ( doing nothing) for as long as I can remember.

From the Mind of Michael Floyd, a very quick Red Race Car design.

This design will delight any Cars fan.

I laid out the balloons on the table for three reasons.


1. Nobody approaches an empty table.
2. The variety of colors are great at drawing people in.
3. I use the table as my palette. It allows me to find the right color and size very quickly, which greatly speeds me up.

Some people do feel the need to touch the balloons. but I lay them out with the mouths facing me, and then I put a buffer row of older balloons closest to them, that I probably won't be using.

Trying to finish up the questions.

16, What's the biggest thing you've ever made?

I made a Ferris Wheel that was 10 feet ( 3 meters) tall and had carts and it could spin.


17, What has been your proudest achievement in our wonderful world of twisted latex

I won 3rd place at Twist n Shout in 2011 for my balloon pirate ship.


18, What advice would you give to someone starting out, or wanting to increase their business?

Keep a list of leads (interested people) and contact them each at least once a year. Always have a few balloons and business cards with you.


19, What road in latex do you see yourself taking in the future

I'd love to teach at a Convention.

Currently, I'm trying to forge a path in Online Balloon Instructions.
DVD's are very expensive to acquire for many people off the beaten path. Shipping and import costs usually are more than the cost of the DVD.
I'm trying to offer a quick and affordable way for people to get balloon instructions.


20, What is your personal goal when you set off to work? Is it money or to entertain etc?

I have three goals when ever I work.
1. Have enough fun so I want to keep doing this.
2. Make enough money so I can keep doing this.
3. Try at least one new design.

I've found that these help me stay focused and keep my twisting fresh.
