Instead of boring my loyal blog followers with my research and citations, I've decided to keep a separate research journal. This week I've been researching the most popular balloon animals so I'm ready at my carnival next weekend. (bring all your friends! March 5, IHS gym, 12-4!!!) To my delight there are many expert opinions on this subject. Dogs, giraffes, flowers, swords and elephants are the most requested balloon creations. Thankfully the first thing I learned to make out of balloons was a dog, followed by a flower. Even cooler, a giraffe is simply a variation on a dog balloon animal. So before the carnival I need to perfect my sword and elephant which shouldn't be a problem.
The coolest thing I discovered however was the flying mouse. What in the world could that be?! Well my friends, it is by far the coolest balloon animal I could make you but it is only used in the msot desperate of circumstances. Imagine a child comes up to me and says "I want a balloon platapus." My worst clown fear would be to disappoint this kid, but I have no idea how to make a platapus out of balloons. So I say, "Well, a platapus would take me 3 years and 1200 balloons...but I'd be happy to make you a flying mouse!" And then i whip out my pump and create the most magical creature and I've made another kid happy. Stay tuned for pictures of my balloon creations. Coming soon!
