Someone mentioned the character Bluey to me the other day so I thought I'd have a go at making him.

Balloon Chit Chat / New Website, www.balloonartwholesale.co.uk
« on: October 08, 2021, 11:31:47 AM »
For the past few weeks we have been having a new website built. The plan was to update the old one and freshen it up a little.
BUT, he he, there is always a but, the site had not been worked on for quite a few years and was
a little out dated and by adding new we might have caused the old site to crash.
So we went with building a new site from scratch, well not me but the technical people.
As I'm sure many of you have noticed I struggle with technology. It's not my strong point.
It's been about a month in the process and we are hoping to launch the new site possibly on the 1st November, fingers crossed.
I'm sure we will have a few gremlins and things that need a tweak or two but fingers crossed it will go as smoothly as it can.

Then after that they are going to have a look at the forum and see if we can update Balloon Chat
or if not we will add a new forum to the front and keep the old site achieved and searchable.
Now even I know updating Balloon Chat will be a challenge.
Will keep you all posted.

Helen Budinger posted this on her timeline and as I was into making cars this week thought I'd have a go.
I did speak with Helen to check whose design and she says it's on David Brenn Rumble truck tutorial.

Balloon Chit Chat / Guinness World Record
« on: September 13, 2021, 02:12:25 PM »
Caroline posted on Facebook about trying for another world record.
"Guinness World Records Book for the world’s largest 3D fractal made from modelling balloons"
We made an 8 metre one here back in March 2014,
https://www.balloonchat.co.uk/balloon-chit-chat/balloon-world-record-8420/
And then we did a smaller version on this thread at Guinness head quarters in February 2015,
https://www.balloonchat.co.uk/balloon-chit-chat/world-record-success/
Caroline Ainslie was co-ordinating and David Crofts made the Guinness sign from balloons.

Model Of The Month / September Model of the Month (Butterfly)
« on: August 27, 2021, 05:03:50 PM »
We have gone with a Butterfly for the model of the month for September.
I usually keep away from making Butterflies when out in the real world, no idea why
but with this design I must add it to the designs I make in the real world.
Will add the step by step instructions shortly.

Model Of The Month / Free Zoom
« on: August 25, 2021, 02:40:33 PM »
I'm going to try and run a free zoom once a month for those who purchased product from us the month before.
The first one will be in October for those who get the free complimentary packs of balloon in September.
Just trying to work out how to set zoom up with a link and password for everyone to receive.
