This 24' by 16' balloon graphic represents the view from a palace at the fictional, idyllic land called Shangri-La. The balloon tapestry  served as the backdrop for Final Night at the International Balloon Arts Convention in 2003. It took 40 RMS Banner panels, 5,000 Qualatex 5" balloons, staff  and ;three classes of students to assemble. Even so, it depended an a bank of Conwin Dual Split-Second Sizers for fast, accurate sizing of balloons to pull off the project in the time allowed.

The light weight and flexible nature of the RMS framework enabled staff to manually lift this balloon graphics masterpiece, set it on wheels and roll it, in tact, to the adjacent ballroom to join the public "Festival of Balloons" on the following day.
