Balloon Art

I am always in awe when I see people take somthing as simple as a balloon, twist, bend and turn it, et voila: a cute little animal!

Hiring someone (also called a twister) for a children's party is always a smashing hit and highly entertaining; not just for the young, but the elder ones as well.

Balloons are not only used to add to the festive atmosphere or to make hats and animals out of. There is a whole balloon world out there, making fabulous creations out of this simple item.

I came across flowers, cartoon characters and even an entire nature scene, all completely made out of these inflatable, simple and cheap party supplies.

Complete fashion shows are held with some very artistic apparel made out of balloons, like this dress shown at a Chinese Balloon Fashion Show.

I wonder if this model was constantly on pins and needles. For her sake... I certainly hope not!
