Honestly I would love one of these balloon costumes! they look so fun and quite comfortable. It is cool to see the different styles people use to make their art. One thing that I would be worried about would be the sustainability of this art form as a service. First of all, the video only credits one women for crafting these balloon suites. I am curious to see if she can keep up with the demand for balloon costumes. Also, I don't think the scope of her business can go very far seeing as these suits are hard to ship and the balloons loose volume the older and older they get. I wonder about the possibility of the popping that the balloon suits have. Can you sit down in a suit? Are the balloons closer to the ground more susceptible to popping? Overall these suits seem like a fun idea that can be learned to be done by your self, but as a business I am not sure how sustainable it is.
These balloon costumes are absolutely sprinkling fun and whimsy everywhere they go. They are also pretty ideal options for Halloween costumes if people are into that. I’m actually really impressed by the movement and agility the balloon costumes can accommodate. In the video people are running, jumping up and down and, more surprisingly, swinging a tennis racket and playing tennis ball. I was wondering if these balloons are just the normal balloons that we can buy in every store or are they made of special materials because it seems they are much more sturdy than balloons. Also the way all of the balloons are ties or held together establishing a more stable structure might be part of the reason why the costumes don’t seem to fall apart from jumping and other quite drastic movements. It is always uplifting to see artists devote themselves to creating arts using ordinary items that we can see in daily life and imbue them with magic.
Wow, what a great use of balloons! I am always delighted by the creative use of whimsical materials such as the balloon costumes featured in this article. There's something so enjoyable about balloons, and the idea of being encapsulated by them like the people in the video is strangely appealing to me. I think that something about balloons just appeals to the childlike wonder in me, and I feel compelled to get some balloons and see what kinds of interesting things I could make after reading this. I feel like balloons have a certain appeal to them nothing else does. They offer an escape from the heavy routine of daily life, which I think we could all benefit from. I think we should all wear a balloon costume at some point in our lives, it's probably quite therapeutic.
