Luna New Year
I love making beautiful things, to celebrate the Luna new year, happy year of the pig!!
I was asked to make a garland that gave the movement and feel of a dragon.., what do you think?
Balloon Flowers, an Amazing alternative
Decorating for events can be a simple basket of flowers (customer gets bad hay fever) or a whole extravaganza of colourful delight, balloons enhance the mood and Create a fabulous atmosphere if you are looking for something truly bespoke, look at for a balloon artist that will literally make a basket of flowers, there is no limit to the talent of some of the twisters I personally know, these baskets can be made of balloons as well, how crazy is that it’s like balloon ‘ception
Big flowers, little flowers, hand made posies and massive bouquets delivered, what is your favourite kind of flower? have you seen it made as a balloon?

Halloween madnesses
It’s been quite the intense time In the Castle De Groovy, Halloween came all in a rush with costumes and face painting and Chocolate give always
Still, it’s an honour to be asked to celebrate with people to make their event amazing 
Hot air ballooning 😆
There is a lot in the air at the moment about Gift Balloons and hot air balloons
These gift delivery balloons I am making at the moment are going crazy
they are extremely bespoke, down to what colour you want the clouds, red/white or bubbly, if you want chocolates with them
I have been asked about doing different styles, EG halloween, what do you think? would anyone be interested in a hot air eyeball or witch?
also, what would I put in the basket? gummy worms and things like that?
Let me know what you think would someone would like to get
Cheers
Mel

3ft (90cm) Balloons as Decorations
Hi there, i’ve been wondering what balloon has the most impact on an event and is also the most versatile, after much discussion with peers I think the 3ft (90cm balloons) are arguably the most versatile balloon, These have been a big winner for everyone, they create amazing atmosphere and we can make them into anything.
They come In every colour, we can create custom colours with double stuffing, plus clear and even marble swirls,
In the hands of a Professional, 3ft Balloons can be anything you can imagine, from the belly of an enormous Easter Bunny to the topper for a huge column, you can fill clear ones with confetti or smaller balloons to explode for a gender reveal or even a mini balloon drop (see the just married picture).
3ft balloons can make an enormous flower centre, they are big enough to write anything you want on them in Vinyl so you can have them personalised, and, Elegant enough for any occasion from a Wedding or Christening to Corporate promotions and even a make an outstanding and inspiring gift delivery to someone’s door (or make everyone else envious when it arrives at their desk at work)

Massive balloon decorations
Some days you just love what you do so much.
Being a Balloon artist I am part of a quite small but skilled community, I love that we pull together for events like this, a couple of fellow balloonatics got married so we all converged on Noosa Leisure Center and built an Enchanted Balloon Forest, it was so much fun
I ran lead on the wedding cake, it was Fabulous
5meters (14ft) tall it took two artists and 6 or more helpers two days to create
Stay tuned for more amazing photographs from #ozballoonwedding @noosaleisurecentre
Because Miss Donna and Mr Jay got married
Unicorn party – games and set up
There are just so many ways to theme up a party, and play around with what you can do
Depending on their ages, there are so many things that could work for this style of party
I recently did an 8yo Unicorn party, it was Fabulous, here are some of the games we played
The most important thing is to engage their imagination, and for this, you don’t really need much, just a dash of silliness and some coloured material
First step is, decide with the kids (I have had them tell me it’s a fart/tinkle noise) what noise a unicorn makes and that is the sound to start and finish games
Have pockets of glitter and make the unicorn sound and throw glitter in the air
- tell a story together, this is done with a lot of engagement from the children, we tell a story of a little unicorn (children name and age the unicorn) you start the adventure with this unicorn sleeping and have the children be asleep. then make up a story with the kids input (remember the input because you retell it backwards as the unicorn goes out for an adventure then finds it’s way back home. The children absolutely love this game, because it engages them in all forms, they get to create a character and take it on an adventure that is all their own
2. Team games, make two hobby horse unicorns out of balloons and have the two teams race once around the table/chair/clothesline and then hand the hobby horse (they mush ride it like its a horse) over to the next one in line, the team done first starts neighing loudly
3. balancing games with a parachute – kids in the centre are wearing the unicorn horn (balloon horn perhaps) and then you can wash them in the huge unicorn washing machine (everyone runs around the circle with the edge of the parachute, it twists up and the unicorn in the centre needs to keep their balance
Running games – blow up a balloon if they can (most cant) assist with your balloon pump and tie off then they have races frontways backways sideways all together around the yard
2 teams
Jelly bean / Marshmallow run – spoon in mouth,(everyone has their own spoon) picking it up from one bowl and putting it in another
Unicorn tails (snakes or rainbow straps) pegged on a string and have an eating competition
Make unicorn Gel – clear aloe vera Gel plus a drop of glycerine plus loads of super fine glitter can be used for skin or cheeks or lips (always avoid eyes) This is an excellent one for older kids, get them to decorate the pots you put it all in after they have made their magical glitter Gel
Make glitter slime, I have been making slime for years with kids, however there is now an issue with borax so we don’t use it any more, here is a slime recipe that I have been using and adding glitter too so it’s all squishy and lovely
- 1.5 cups of white glue
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Baking Soda
- 2 tablespoons of saline solution (make it yourself with water and salt)
Mix it, add some shaving foam to make it fluffy, then add food colouring and glitter, loads of glitter, it’s a gooey slimey mess
Aaany way, I had heaps of fun at the party, so did my little friends, happy Unicorning
Peace and love

Arches and decorations setting the scene for your event
When you plan an event what feeling are you getting across? Is it a convention or a birthday party or product launch? When you decide the atmosphere you want the guests/delegates to feel, balloons set the scene and are gorgeous so you can get your attendees to hashtag #yourevent, set selfie prizes on Instagram and across all your social media, balloons and our outstanding high impact decor share well, look amazing and will keep people talking
Choosing the pieces you want for your event is all about the venue, sometimes less is more, an entry arch or two columns as the guests are coming in set the scene, perhaps lights or multiple floor decorations giving a “red carpet” feel, table centerpieces and another gorgeous backdrop for photos, or even, a photoframe are quite on trend now
A little balloon action in Eltham today
Such a lovely pace to twist, it’s mid winter here so it took ages to warm up, but we came up with a couple of nice balloons by the end, have a great Saturday! 
Retail decorations
Sometimes it’s to celebrate a season or a sports team, sometimes it’s for fun, sometimes it’s to highlight an area of the store, but every now and then, a little fancy, a little changeing it up with some colour makes the world of difference to the way the staff feel and therefore the customers feel too, a breath of fresh air in the form of colour and movement
NAIDOC week celebrations, I love that what I do gives great feelings to people, art touches us in ways that are deep and moving
More balloonacy out and about
Twistalischious fun
Had a couple of good ones today
Nothing says winter in Australia like Citrus and we are all a flutter with the yummyness
I was asked yesterday to install something cool for Citrus and this is a nice little display I’m kinda proud of, it’s a little odd but I like that 😊 the 3ft balloon that’s an orange makes me very happy
