Bride and groom

My very first wedding event. It was a blast. Had fun making this bride and groom balloons. It was at a Hong Kong East Ocean Seafood Restaurant in Emeryville California. http://www.hkeo.us/. The bride typically wears a red chinese gown (cheongsam). My first time making bride and groom so it was fun and challenging. Everyone including the bride and groom loved the balloons. Thanks to them for hiring me.

On the funny note, the last 2 hours of the of the wedding, i was twisting balloons on the dance floor and in the dark with techno and dance musics. I had a work out dancing and twisting at the same time...so hilarious. Too funny...hehe

A little boy loves a famous iphone game called Angry Bird and asked me to make him the angry birds. Luckily for him, Mason and I play the game too so i know what the birds look like and made them on the spot for him and his little sister. They loved them and make me super happy..:-().

Balloon pumpkin

Are you in the Halloween spirit yet? I guess i am and some kids are.
Got a request to make pumpkins this past weekend for a birthday party in Burlingame.

Armadillo

Who would have thought making a balloon armadillo? I made this one on my own and thought it is pretty cute. If i make this in another colour eg. green and/brown it can also look like a dinosaur. This is why i love making balloon animals as i can be as creative and as colourful as i want. Enjoy!

Killer whale

I was at a birthday party last week and came a little boy who asked me to twist him a whale...i told him that i have never twisted a whale before but could try to make him one on the spot if he didn't mind and so i did. He liked it. Unfortunately i didn't get a chance to take a picture of it...however he seemed to dig it so it was alright with me.
Here is a killer whale balloon i just learned. It's fun to make and super easy to twist. Another water creature that i can add to my sea world collection of animals...yeah! Enjoy

Anyhow, glad you liked the orange balloon motorcycle on the hat Troy! Cheers.)
