Amazing
On May 10, 2020, we at Balloon Designers celebrated Mother's Day in a unique way this year. As part of the "One Million Bubbles" project, we decided to create something experiential along a half-mile stretch of walking path outside our shop.
The path consisted of 25 different "motivation moments" made up of yard decor elements along with specific comments, statements or questions related to the recent trauma we've all endured with COVID-19. Some of them were intended to be inspirational, some humorous and others hopeful, but ultimately the hope was that everyone walking the path would connect with at least one of these pieces in their own special way.
Then in the center of the route, we created a focal piece intended as a photo op. The organic heart design became the "hot spot" of the tour with socially distanced lines forming to pose for family photos.
"One Million Bubbles" is a global movement that we are proud to share began right here in Issaquah and spread to over 81 countries and nearly 2000 other balloon artists world wide. The project involved balloon professionals using their gifts to bring joy to people darkened by the world we currently live in due to the coronavirus.
