Making this balloon stack made me realise something that I should be proud to say.
I put the same effort into all my designs from a little stack to a expensive balloon arch I put all my heart into it.
I got this order from a repeat customer she ordered really early which was fantastic however Thomas the tank engine balloons decided to become extinct in the UK 😂. Well apparently coming into stock in August I put SOS calls out to all the local balloon artists and in the end found one but this took so long to find I was panicking even looking up ways to make a Thomas out of modelling balloons (you that have bought from me before will know il make anything out of modelling balloons if I need to make it theme up) 😂
The day came to make them and it was one of those designs that everything I wanted to do just didn't want to go my way.
I get really stressed when it's not right I have a vision and when it doesn't look like I want it too I get upset with myself.
Call me a perfectionist but I just want my customers to be happy. I always try to go above and beyond with every design and make every design bespoke. Even when I get sent a photo of a design sent to me I will only use it as inspiration I won't make it the same
1- because it is likely not my design in the first place often another balloon artist design, a DIY design, Amazon image or these days AI imagine.
2- because it's your design it's not mass produced it's yours you paid for something to be hand made and I'm making it for you anyway who wants to be the same as everyone else.
So Happy 2nd Birthday Rory I hope you have a fabulous day.
