Balloons! (It's been a While)

Just a quick post to say hi to all! How has your week been? Mine...? Pretty reasonable! Too procrastinat-y for my liking though.

Maybe some of you know I'm a balloon twister, I post about it every now and then. I do have a whole another blog about that too, A Rainbow of Balloons (and I'm on Facebook too - Facebook.com/aballoonrainbow). I actually did a birthday party on Saturday for the cutest little girl, Toula.

I love getting to dress up as my alter-ego Rainbow!


Her awesome Aunt who asked me to come along also had a special request for a balloon Sophia the First... Here was my attempt! I've never made her before, but the hardest part was trying to make her crown! :((


It was absolutely adorable how Toula hugged her balloon! Melt my heart why don't ya kid?! The balloon was almost as big as she was! (I think she'd just turned 2.) I also made her a Minnie Mouse balloon at her party (no photos).

Because I really love my girly balloons so much, I thought I would share with you some of my recent favourite balloons I have created!




Are any of my readers balloon twisters? If you are, I'd love to know! There is so much joy to be had in bring a smile about from balloons!

I'm going to try for my 3rd year of auditioning for Australia's Got Talent. It's coming up soon, so I'm trying to think what I should do this time for my audition piece... :/

In other news, recently I scored some awesome fabric and other purchases which I'd love to share with you in my next post! I've discovered something fun that I'm keen to begin exploring more!

Until next time ;)

    1. Hi Mireilli, thanks for your lovely comment <3 I don't have a tutorial at all unfortunately, but it is something I have considered putting together! Maybe 2014 will be my year...

      If it helps, her hair is attached with an off-centred Raisin Twist (if you are not familiar with the technique, a Google search will be very helpful) :)

      If there are any specifics that you want to ask about, please let me know!

    1. I wish I could tell you where to buy them from... Except I don't buy them, I draw them myself :)

      It can be one of the most nerve-wracking parts of making the balloon in my mind, but luckily I usually am satisfied with the end result :)

    2. Wow, simply amazing! Love all the balloon stuff you do :)
