Still from Wallie's workshop, he had a good idea for what designs to teach.
All were numbered and he had 12 5" rounds with a number inside, these were thrown around and someone popped one of the balloons.
What number came out was the one he made and explained.

Every where you turned there were sculptures everywhere. The lights reflected in the crystal ball.

I think this was Andy's variation on Wallie's duck design.

What A fantastic week away, so much to see...Everywhere you looked there were balloon figures, either being created or just sitting around minding their own business. I managed to take just under 900 pictures but as normal whenever I am let loose with a camera, most just haven't come out :-(. It's taken me this long to really sit down and write this. So it may take a while to get some pictures up but I'm going to give it a go anyway. I met up with Danny halfway through the first day and as he had been there a couple of days already, he gave a guided tour of the complex. We then decided to take a wander around the maze, which was truly stunning. After many wrong turns and meeting people almost as lost as we were, we managed to find the hidden rooms, with all the fantastic sculptures made from...Yes that's right balloons.

The balloons inside the maze (somehow that just doesn't do them justice). The works of of art inside were absolutely stunning and with the sheer size of the maze it made for quite a fun time wandering this way and that always on the hunt for the next piece. The picture of the maze I think from memory is about half the size of the entire thing. It was just Massive
I've managed to leave one of the sculptures out of the pictures, just as a little bit of fun can anyone guess / remember which one it is?

It was a truly amazing experience going around this fabulous Maze of balloons.

Well but simply constructed, the vastness and amount of balloons was incredible and any photos don't really give the atmosphere and ambiance created.

Dan (KJ Entertainments) it was a pleasure to show you around, and a delight to go into the maze with you and eventually find our way out too!  :D

Hello All

I have just recovered from a fantastic trip, as, during the week away I also managed to find time to collect a few new bugs and viruses to come home with:-( I eventually got home safely at 10.30 pm Sunday after visiting and working at my granddaughters first birthday on the weekend. I was shattered going to work Monday morning!!

Thanks for posting the pictures everyone.

Paul, Olivia and myself had a great time constructing the green and yellow wall for the Qualatex logo along with the flower/stars at the entrance to the maze!!! I think we were helped by Jo jo and Danny too???

Hope to see you all soon:-))

Still a very smiley Amanda :-)))))

Yes Amanda - I helped inflate lots of 5" lime green rounds for the Q wall. Then I was moved on to helping with the Circus Entrance arch - I helped with one of the sides ( the Right one!).  :D

The fortune teller, although I think he is possibly meant to be called something else? Sean Rogers made this.
