Hm, what's the range of prices of ballons of this kind, (very artistic I mean). I can't figure out what I would pay for one of these cuz although it's cool ballons have a short life span so not much to do after a couple days.

I'd pay some good money for the x-wing though xD

Well like the optimus or the xwing takes awhile hour+ so 20 bucks would be the minimum I think Jeff said.Its also about the "performance" of putting the balloons together to form the final sculpture.Even if the person knows what your going to make its a neat experience watching as it actually takes shape.Puzzling out what is what or what each part may be or end up as is part of what you should be paying for.

That's amazing! How long did it take you to learn how to do that?


I started very basic,single balloon animals dog,horse,cat,bear,monkey etc.Started because I got into magic and many magicians do some if not allot of balloon animals.So for 3 years or so those few were all I did once in awhile I would add a new simple one for fairs I'd twist at for my daughters school.
Then I found out about Balloon Manor(google it) and other bad ass twister and all that can be done.(check out
http://www.twistedballoondoc.com/ Twisted)
And started looking for videos etc.Started going to the balloon jams once a week,tonight was my 4th time.Working hard on getting a solid working base so I can start some restaurant gigs Albert(Al Tester main ballonbadass/owner of Balloon jesters)is gonna hook me up with.I have most twists down but I need more simple sculptures oddly enough and have been spending to much time on more time consuming/larger sculptures that wouldn't fly in a restaurant setting.

With all that said Ive been doing it about 3 years and a few months.With these last few months being really dedicated to pursuing a carrier in ballooning.

Sweet! I think I just found a new hobby. Any books or tips you would give the complete novice?

Look for local Balloon stores or Magic stores.Join www.balloonhq.com. read all of the guides.(wealth of info at balloonhq alone)

Try finding a local jam most bigger citys will have one every week/month depending.(a jam is just getting together and playing/sharing ideas making stuff)

Ordering balloons cheap www.balloonmerchant.com

Good sight with many good figures www.balloon-animals.com

Cool as shit as usual. It seems as you might need to upgrade to some King Size Sharpie's. Would probably make the coloring in more precise and easier.

The 2nd picture looks 100% like a penis with a red tip. I couldn't even tell what it was until I read this post. Apparently Photobucket thinks so too because they banned the first pic LOL


Protip: learn how to make a murloc and make millions at blizzcon. I'm not even kidding you could probably charge like 5 or 10 bucks for one.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)
