Hey All,

I have a big corporate client and this is the biggest gig that I am being contacted directly and not going through an agent. I need to send over a contract to them but I am a bit lost on how to format one or what it should say. I know that I should have a cancellation policy and take a deposit but beyond that I know there are wayyy more things I should have in it.

Can anyone please email me a contract they use? You don't need to have a price on it or anything. Just some terms you use and how you put them out on the document would be really, really helpful!

Cheers!
Tess

I think that is a great idea!

So glad I could share it with people who understand. I have never done Origami before but plan on trying it since watching this. I also think the passion that all the folders have for their art is something I understand on a deep level.

Have any of you balloonists tried Origami before?

This documentary is really great and, I think there a lot of parallels between origami and balloon twisting. You can watch the full doc on Youtube, it is just under an hour and a entertaining watch: //http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJRBiIeFe7Q

You can change the Facebook page settings so that no one can post on your wall. You can also set the comments on your site to mediate which means that you can see the comments and decide to let them go on the site.

I hope that helps.

I really love the first one. I prefer the one bubble for the lip, my mind fills in the gaps and I get a real sense of character. The second baby just doesn't seem as fun as the first!

I have been so inspired by Gabi Hodge. She uses a lot of hearts in her twisting. Now I am addicted to creating new sculptures with hearts. Here are  a few of mine, I would love to see some of your attempts too!

I have really been trying to push my skill and develop my style, I have been posting lots of photos on my fan page: www.facebook.com/misspopularityballoons if you are interested in seeing my sculpture journey check it out. After seeing what Rob did with his balloon a day for a year, I just thought I should be twisting once a day too!

Bumping this up to the top again... Any ideas?

Very sad to hear. He was a great inspiration.

Hello all,

Anyone have experience with big nets? Looking to buy one for 800+ balloons. Any recommendations for brands,  size, any leads where to purchase one?

Thanks!
Tess

Fascinating! I have been dreaming of making my own balloons in all different shapes. This dream has officially been squashed

Thank you so much for the quick response, great links!

Hey All!

I have had an enquiry about creating a balloon sculpture or installation that will 'explode' for an audience and release a bunch of token/coupons for the customers to have. I tried to explain this is difficult with sculptures because it is multiple balloons and that maybe one giant balloon would be better. Any ideas on which balloon to use and how the pop could happen?

The client also wanted to have individual balloons on sticks with something inside each balloon that people can pop and get their 'prize' inside. This is very easy but I am wondering if anyone has had any experience making sculptures or installations using 11'' rounds on sticks?

So let me know what you brilliant balloon aficionados are thinking, would really appreciate the help.

Happy New Year!
