Contemporary Balloon Decorations


Because I love to create fun and unique balloon sculptures and decorations, customers typically call me with requests that require "balloon twisting".  Last month, I was asked to provide some contemporary balloon decorations for a national conference for Origami Owl.   We suspended huge 3' balloons (inflated to varying sizes and at varying heights) both in the stage area and throughout the ballroom.  The effect was pretty FABULOUS!  


(Note:  Tying 80+ 3' balloons is more difficult than it looks - these are thick latex.  Heartfelt thanks to a couple of  Origami Owl employees who came to my rescue about half-way through!)

Balloon Luau

On occasion I get the opportunity to work with some of my FABULOUSLY TALENTED balloon artist friends on large balloon decor jobs. (Together we are "AZ Balloon Artists".)   June 30th we created a tropical "Balloon Luau" for an event in Phoenix.  A tiki hut, tropical birds, exotic flowers, monkeys, frogs, bugs, a floral arch, scads of palm trees, and more... were all part of the decorations.

Thanks to Taulbee McJunkin - she brought along a professional photographer ("Gwendolyn Grace Photography") to take some photos for us. We added a few other snapshots and created this video.   Hope you enjoy!

Baby Shower - Ocean / NauticalTheme

In June I was asked to provide some centerpieces for a Nautical Themed Baby Shower.  I love baby showers!  Seems to be that time of year....
