Basket of Flowers

This Basket of Flowers has been entered by Tina at the Spring Fling Art Show in Sidney, Ohio.  All the flowers are made out of uninflated latex balloons.  The basket has tulips, daffodils, and crocuses in it.

Happy Sweet 16





Approximately 500 balloons were use to create a fiesta style atmosphere for this birthday celebration. The colors chosen were those of a southwestern sunset. Matching the turquoise blue color to a balloon was simple, the balloons actually come in that color. Matching the amber color called for stuffing one color balloon inside another color balloon. So even if the balloons don't come in a color you've chosen, sometimes we can mix balloons and still get the result you want.

Mrs. Mouse Balloon Sculptures with a Candy Dish

This mouse balloon sculpture was delivered to a funeral home. The grandchildren sent it in memory of their beloved grandmother. Some people my think it unusual at first, but why? People often share fond memories of the departed when gathered for such an event. I know as people see this mouse they will be reminded of a story about that grandmother and will share it with others. Flowers are nice, but a dozen roses won't bring back many memories, unless of course the grandmother loved roses and they were a part of her life. I don't know why the grandmother loved a certain mouse, but I bet there are some fond memories involved. Wish I had thought to make a penguin balloon sculpture when my granny died, she had a thing for penguins.

Our condolences to the family and friends of the grandmother who passed. We hope this mouse added a few extra smiles and laughs mixed in with your grief and remembrances.
