I was challenged to make a scorpion the other day so this is what I came up with today

On another note, my daily balloon blog is now on facebook, so please feel free to head on over there and like the page thanks - //https://www.facebook.com/MyDailyBalloon

Last Month I made an owl for my daily balloon blog and a couple of friends told me it didn't look like an owl, if your interested you can find it here - //http://mydailyballoon.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/february-20th-owl-2.html

I saw someone else do that design and I decided to have a go, I was pretty pleased with it until I was told that it apparently does not look like an owl, lol

Anyway, it got me thinking and I decided to design my own owl, and here he is, what do you think?

Hi All

I have been having a play about with a logo for the Balloon Artistes Guild, there was a competition a couple of years ago
//http://balloonchat.co.uk/win-free-bag-membership-t4526.html?hilit=t

I am not sure if anything came of it so I asked Graham if he minded me coming up with a design.

So here is a design, have a look, this is just a first version.

Do you have any suggestions? is there anything you like or dislike?
Graham has given me a few suggestions to work with already

It will be in a function room with its own bar in a nice pub near Portsmouth, there will be good freshly prepared local food available to purchase if you need it.

More information of the location and Jam will follow soon once I have finalised the details. you can join the facebook group for details too - //https://www.facebook.com/groups/PortsmouthBalloonJam/

Hi All

I had such a good time at the Care and Share in Exeter yesterday I thought I would share with you a project I am doing.

I made this Calvin and Hobbes for a friend the other day (they are from a cartoon strip), I wanted to base them on this image of them - //http://images.fanpop.com/images/image_uploads/Calvin---Hobbes-calvin--26-hobbes-254155_1024_768.jpg

I photographed them and then drew a log background and put them together in photoshop.

Hey all

I decided to have a go at making Dennis the Menace from the Beano comic.

I think I need to make the body a little broader, he looks a little too skinny.

Happy Groundhog day everyone, News just in is that Punxsutawney Phil did NOT see his shadow so Spring will be arriving early (Hooray).

I was not sure what a Groundhog looked like exactly but I found this photo //http://avocadoandchocolate.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/groundhog.png

and here is what I came up with with some added teeth as it seemed like the right thing to do at the time.

Hey all, Here is a Flamingo I made yesterday. I have had a few occasions in the past where someone has asked for a flamingo so I thought I would come up with something.

I have been asked by a balloon modelling friend for advice, his church has asked if he can do a balloon story for children and adults 6-10 mins. any ideas?

Here is an Angry bird I made the other day, thought I would share.

Hi All, new member here from Portsmouth, I have been a balloon modeller for about 18 years and recently found this forum. looking forward to chatting to you all soon.
