Default Hi from balloonanimals

Ok,

I'm 25, soon not to be single.

I'm not a clown, but a balloon twister. I have been making balloon art since 1999.

I know more things then I can count, and yes I tried too once.

I run http://www.balloon-animals.com where I post videos on how to make balloon sculptures.

Wow great to have you on this forum. As you already read in another tread. Yes I liked your videos. I liked them because what you do isn't only nice to do but in the meantime also very useful for performing and/ore lineworking. For me who is mainly clown and juggler who does balloontwisting as a side-thing they are great, quick and impressive. So thanks

Welcome to this great forum with a nice bunch of people hanging around.

Thumbs up

Yours website is the only place I've seen how to make a hamster! I talk about hamster's quite frequently when I'm clowning. (Who knows why). THANK YOU!

PS: Do you know how to make a balloon tractor? There are quite a few farms around here and I've gotten requests 3 times in the last few months for a John Deere tractor!

Welcome ... welcome. I need to evolve my balloon animals to be able to do bread-and-butter clown work with parties etc. Plan to chack out site.

I am improving. I now only bust 1 out of 3 balloons while inflating, whereas before it was 4 out of 5. Its those pesky first steps .....

Are you using good balloons? Either Qualatex or Betallatex? If you are make sure you are not inflating the balloons all the way. That you are leaving room for the air to fill later. Before you tie the balloon be sure to let a little air back out, this softens the balloon.

A lot of times the balloons in a kit are real cheapies and usually quite old. No telling how long that book sat in the warehouse.
