Purchased this for an 11 yr old girl. Illustrations were easy to read -- directions easy to follow. She made several new balloon animals & toys without adult help. Some of the toys were complicated, but she was able to follow the steps and have success. I would recommend this book, even for a beginner.
I bought a Balloon sculpting book a couple years ago that was fantastic. The pictures were in color and very easy to looks at while twisting the balloons. I give out the books and balloons for Christmas gifts which kids and adults have a lot of fun with. The kids get the adults excited and engaged in making various objects. In this case, kids like to look at pictures and not read about how to make balloon animals, swords, etc. This book is well written and once you understand the diagrams and practiced a couple times, then you can make the objects featured in the book easily. I think this book would be excellent for clowns or adults that make balloon sculptures for others. It was not a hit for the families that I gave them too. It was quickly set aside and the kids started to come up with patterns of their own.
There are some real gems in this book. These balloon designs have a wow factor. The dinosaurs are terrific and well thought out. The frog is easy and super cute! Rabbits, squirrels, and more! This is the book you want if you have been twisting balloons for a while and either need a refresher course (me) or need some good designs to supplement what you've been doing. The illustrations are easy to follow and there are a lot of good tips. True, it is not a flashy book. No color pictures, but if you are serious about balloon twisting, it is a GREAT book!
This book was purchased to teach myself to make balloon sculptures for various events for children. Never making balloon animals before, I was amazed at how quickly I learned & give the credit to this book. The illustrations were easy to understand and the book provided a suprising number of different sculptures, ranging from traditional animals to hats to balloon shooters! The author provides instruction with a sense of humor & provides information not only on sculpting, but on the various types of balloons & techniques used.
Very pleased with the short time it took to ship and with the Balloon Sculpting book. Employees at Shocco Springs learned how to make many forms with balloons by reading this book and then shared their new talent with the children in Guatemala on their mission trip.
I am a magician and want try to learn the technique of balloon sculpting.I do shows for kids and they always ask why I dont show them balloon sculpting.With this book you can learn some easy to do balloon animals and toys.I think this book is not written for the advanced balloon artist but I had great fun to try out all the different balloon figures.
I used this book to teach a class in balloon sculpting. It was very useful. The illustrations were very clear and the content was very educational.
I bought this because my wife and I started a bounce house and concessions rental business. One of the things we want to offer is balloon sculpting so I took a chance by buying this. Literally 5 minutes after I opened the book I had already made a dog. Then a wiener dog, then a giraffe and an alligator. Very well put together, very easy to read and follow. Best value amateur book out there!
