And today's balloon is...

It's been over two years since I posted one of these on here so I though I'd show you what I made for today's big parade in Edmonton. My very own one man balloon band:

You must live I constant fear of sharp objects when you're out and about with something like that.

Seriously though how long did they take to make?

Thanks guys!

Rather proud of this one... But it was a loooooong time making.

I started the components (the bandsmen) at about 11.30 am and finished them and the chest piece at 2am. Then crammed them into the back of my 3 door honda civic at 6.30am before reconstructing and attaching it to myself at the event (which took about 40 mins).

As I said a looooooong time!!!! :D

Absolutely amazing!!

I met a lovely juggler/balloon man who taught me how to make a balloon sword.....after struggling with the basic structure of a balloon sword, i am deeply in awe!!!

Much love
