Yesterday was a great day:  I went to watch a show at a library, had some good Chinese food and also had a gig for an adorable 3 year old's birthday party.

The chain of events from yesterday has lead me to thinking, "Where does inspiration come from?"  As a balloon artist - and all other artist as well, inspiration can come from anywhere.  Watching the kids show at the library was quite entertaining.  Not just the show in general, but how he performed his show, the intricacies of his show, his comedic timing.  It really makes me appreciate the thought, hard work and time that is needed to create something.  I remember hearing from one of my professors in college, "you know you've done your job well when people think 'that's easy, I can do that.'"

The kids party.  That was a blast!!!  It never fails to amaze me the amount of joy and the big smile that comes from a kid when you had them a balloon.  Not only the children, but also adults!  Balloons truly bring joy to people, and that's what the goals is about.  It's funny how quickly adults can become children when it comes to balloons.

Now, how does good Chinese food fit into all this?   Good question.  I don't know, that was just what was happening in my day...  Maybe something will inspire me from it.

Got some new twisting DVDs this weekend and am loving what I am learning.  I was up pretty late last night trying to implement the new techniques I've learned with some other ideas that I have had.

I think it is totally cool when you can take a basic structure and by just adding a few modifications change it into something else completely.  That really helps in doing line work or restaurant work (and if you are in a pinch).  Can't wait to post up pictures up!

Ugh, I leave for only a couple of days to go somewhere and my DVR ERASED (that's right, erased!!) all my episodes of "The Unpoppables"!!  SO MAD right now!

First ever blog post!  Nothing much to report today.  Just got done watching re-runs of "The Unpoppables" on TLC.  The ideas they come up with is absolutely brilliant.  Only makes me want to push myself creatively to see what I can come up with.  

Still trying to figure out how Brian did the couch.  I managed to come up with something similar to Brian's design.  It used six balloons and it managed to hold my weight.  Need to find time to build a full scale model to see what happens.
