Balloon Animals shows how to make a Gingerbread Man Balloon.

Another holiday theme design. It isn’t perfect, but it would do if a kid asked for a gingerbread man.

Clayton does a nice looking reindeer head that he puts on a headband. I haven’t gotten into the headbands, but I think it might be a bit on the big size.

Mr. Boma’s Balloons shows how to make a Small Panda Balloon Animal.

This looks like a cute panda design and it only requires two balloons. One black 260 and one white 260. He has a bigger panda balloon as well.

I read this on BalloonHQ yesterday… Balloon Manor will be back before Twist & Shout, in Rochester, NY.

They want to continue the exploration of fairy tales and create a full scale installation of Jack & the Beanstalk, entirely out of balloons! They are planning a four-story beanstalk complete with a Giant’s Castle in the clouds.

From their website… http://balloonmanor.com/faq/
Q. So what is Balloon Manor?

A. In the past, Balloon Manor was a giant 10-room, 10,000 square foot haunted house made entirely out of balloons! Over 100,000 balloons were used to create each haunted castle, and all of the amazing creations inside including: marvelous monsters and giant ghosts, creaking castle walls and freaky furniture, gruesome greenery and much much more.

This year, Balloon Manor will be a single giant-scale balloon installation spanning five stories of the Sibley Building. While you won’t be able to walk through the castle at the top of the bean stalk, you will be able to view this unique air-filled sculpture from the open balconies. And best of all, it’s free to see! And you’ve really got to see it in person to appreciate the artistry and hard work that goes into this incredible, ephemeral project.

Q. When will the next Balloon Manor take place?

A. We are currently scheduled to build the new Balloon Manor February 1-4, 2014 and have it open for public viewing Feb 5-9.

The Fastest SHIELD By Scott Kazan

I have been a shield like these, but always with two 260s instead of the 350/360 balloons. I must say that I like Clayton’s design better, it looks a little cleaner.

Marc Proulx, also known as Marco the Clown. Check out the video and read his story.

I like the way the clown does more than just make balloons. He entertains as he goes… to bad the balloon popped.
