My daughter came home from her friend’s birthday party with a pink Teddy Bear Balloon the other day. Having seen numerous Poodles and Giraffes I have become somewhat bored of balloon animals. Having seen this Teddy balloon I found myself quite impressed with it, after all I’d never seen one before… I put that down to a sheltered life away from children’s entertainers.

I’ve been working on some new creative directions lately and this Bear has become a Guinea Pig for some new techniques I’ve been trying to get my head around. As a first attempt I’m quite happy, it’s not perfect, but it’s given me scope to push forward with some new ideas.
