Hey! So I finally got around to making my first columns. One with a standard one free done with fishing line. The stand one I was say is okay but hate that you easily see mechanicals. And the other one was just a fail. Any advice would be appreciated.

I've been quiet lately because I was in the South China Sea on a Cruise with 200 Digital Nomads. I'm the only professional Balloon Artist at the conference, though, if you can believe that! The cruise ended in Manila, and we partnered with a charity that feeds and educates unhoused children in metro Manila. My business partner and I visited with some other Cruisers, and we made all the kids simple balloons (just swords, dogs, and flowers, since we didn't want to take too much time from their lessons) and it was such an amazing experience ❤️

This week, for Chinese New Year, let's see how you make a horse!

Has anyone ever looked into working on a cruise ship? Seems like it could be a sweet gig.

I'm on a cruise ship in Southern Asia at the moment, and a big client emailed me the day before I boarded in Hong Kong asking me to make a character from their TV show. I always travel with a lot of balloons, but I have JUST barely enough (hopefully) of the right colors to make it 😅 So, basically I have to make a full sized human on this cruise ship tomorrow from very limited supplies and produce a whole video of it. Oh, the trials and tribulations of balloon artists!
