Events. Balloon, Magic, Etc / London Jam and van Gogh
October 19, 2023, 02:03:42 PM
It was the London Jam yesterday and as a small select few that were going, Kat, Danielle and myself we
went to the van Gogh Experience before Pizza and twisting. It was a fun couple of hours and
I thought worth seeing. So a few pictures from there before the twisting pictures.

Model Of The Month / October Model of the Month (Wings)

We will be putting up the tutorial this month for the Wings. A simple design but hopefully one that will be useful to a few.
I will try and add the step by step tutorial tomorrow, these are slightly different designs with the way the multi coloured design is made.

The Wings in White are the ones we will be explaining.

Picture Gallery / Mickey Mouse
September 28, 2023, 08:42:11 AM
I had a go at a variation on a design I have made before, Mickey Mouse.
The Shorts are what we have made differently than before, it's still a work in progress.

I added an extra fold twist to the centre of the shorts as was not keen on the way it stood or looked.

Ooops, I thought I had put this up on Balloon Chat to promote the event. I have posted a few times on Facebook but usually do plug the event here as well.

I'm just about to start posting pictures from the event, there was a great line up and as many have said it was
probably the best one so far with a great line up and variation of workshops.

Balloon Chit Chat / Love Heart
September 20, 2023, 06:36:41 PM
I was sent this picture last week to make for someone, they did ask for the design to be in Chrome.
The other slight problem was it had to be posted and fit into a box that I had to hand.
This made it a little difficult as trying to keep proportions would change the look of the design.

Luckily they were pretty flexible and just left things up to me, now that is a worry as well.

It's the magic convention this week, 7/10th September. I'm at the Bob Wooding balloon workshop in Chepstow
on Wed and then driving straight to Eastbourne late Wed night to set up for the 12.130 start on the Thursday.
They do have weekly pass, weekend pass and also a day rate if anyone would like to attend,

I made a variation of my Helicopter on Saturday at a gig, only because I could not remember the other Helicopters
designs that I have been making. The way I attached the lower section of the cockpit was a little different
so thought we would have the Helicopter as the model of the month.

As usual in all orders for the month we will add the complimentary balloon pack.

Balloon Chit Chat / Bike
July 25, 2023, 05:26:14 PM
Someone mentioned the old style 5 balloon bike that I think I first saw in a Michael Decker book many moons ago.
It was a little like this but with no saddle, the saddle makes it six balloons.
