Flower practice

First time I tried the flower that inflate the balloon inside the pink(outside) balloon.
Lots of balloon artists who make beautiful sculptures use this technique.
It’s just difficult!! Need practice a lot. But this skill expand the variety of the shapes of the flower and more things.
 
風船の中に風船が入っていて、それを膨らましてもっとリアルな形を作るお花に
挑戦してみました。難しい・・・。
でも、これができるようになると、作品の出来上がりがぐっとリアルになります。
すごい作品を作っているバルーンアーティストさん達はよくこのテクニックを使っています。
練習あるのみですが、頑張ります。

Christmas arch


We made a Christmas arch for the yugakusha preschool. During making that, many people took photos. It took 3hours to finish the arch but I had to prepared Santa and the snowman which has one heart balloon in his body. The teachers and preschoolers liked it so much. They will have Christmas party in 23rd and take photos with Santa. Happy merry Christmas!!
今日は遊学舎でクリスマスアーチを作りました。作っている途中沢山の人達が写真を撮りに来てましたよ。アーチ部分だけは3時間で終わりましたがサンタや雪だるまは事前に用意したので結構時間がかかりました。雪だるまは体にハートが一つ入ってるんですよ!23日にクリスマスパーティーでサンタさんが来るらしいです。楽しみですね。
メリークリスマス!!

Lots of potential weaving /編み込み

Weaving has lots of way to use for balloons. Rainbow, dragon body, tree trunk etc. 

This is my first trial but seems it works well! I will make something real work with this soon!
編み込みは龍の体とか、木の幹とか、虹とか、いろんな事に応用ができるので、作ってみました。練習までに。これはイケル!これだけでかなり強度がありますが、芯に沿って作ったら面白いモノが出来そうです。近々実際の作品に取り入れてみます。
