Title: Halloween decoration
Post by: Mossieur Ballon on November 09, 2014, 03:05:10 PM
Those were done over 2 weeks, where every morning I would concentrate on making giant pieces in different areas of the mall while doing kids animations and shows in front of the magical tree + house every afternoon.

Some rather classical looking pumpkins:

Those pumpkins were at the feet of the magical tree, which was itself in the garden of the (nice) witch:

But this other witch was not nice at all :

Neither was this menacing vampire :

The skeleton on the other hand was quite happy go lucky :

But the nicest of all was this chap :

Congratulations, looked good. A lot of work there, did you have help making everything?

I had no help, but thankfully as mentioned, this was done over two weeks.

Basically every mornings I was able to concentrate on the deco, made directly in front of the public (a little bit like an ice sculptor would) while all afternoons, I stopped the deco entirely in order to take care of the (many) children with ballooning and shows.

Mind you, those were 12 hours days for the full two weeks.  ;)

I wanted to post on a relevant topic  but this is a poor show after the ones above.  I have a lot of foils so I am just making some things up with them.
