The Thankful Project--times 2

This year for Thanksgiving, the trend on facebook was to post daily a different thing you were thankful for. I decided to participate. I dillegently tried to post something everyday that I was thankful for. The bad part of that project, was that I seemed to neglect this blog!

Thanksgiving, and really the month of November is a weird time for me as a balloon artist. There are so many fun things to make for the halloween season and also a ton for Christmas. In the middle of all of that fun is November. While I can make a good Turkey, and make a ton of them. It really gets pretty boring just making turkeys for a month! So, whenever I was at McAlister's and there was a little bit of down time, I tried to make a different aspect of the Thanksgiving story. In essence I did a balloon Thankful Project. I did not manage to get a picture of the big Turkey I made the first week. it was a lot bigger than my normal handout turkey.

The next week I made a pilgrim. He was holding his
musket ready to find a nice juicy Thanksgiving
Turkey!

The last special sculpture of the Thanksgiving season was an Indian. I almost didn't make him because I certainly didn't want it to be taken as politically incorrect in any way! I went ahead and made him though and I thought he turned out very cute. He was holding a tomahawk ready to assist the pilgrims in anyway!

So, Thanksgiving is over. November will be over in a couple of days. I enjoyed both of my Thankful Projects this year! But, now it is time to bring on the Holiday Cheer!
