"Santa Heart
Face" |
|
© G. Rouse 2006 |
|
|
Here is a simple way
to make a Santa face with an RMS Heart.
-
Fill in the RMS
Heart framework with round balloons according to the
color pattern above.
-
Add eyebrows and
mustache with glued on sections of white # 160 or #
260 balloons.
-
Use a section of
red #260 for the lips.
-
Color in the
eyes with markers or stick on pieces of plastic or
paper.
-
Make the white
balloon tassel on top by tying it to the red balloon
or the Matrix strap.
You may make this
Santa Face with an RMS 2', 3' or larger Flat Heart.

"Vikings Jersey"
|
|
by Dale Moore |
|
. |
|
Dale Moore of
Andon Balloons sent in this design for a sports
jersey. Dale used these colors for the Minnesota
Vikings and different colors on the back for the
opposing team . This basic layout could be
useful for sports year round and not just the winter
holiday season.
This design may
be made with two RMS Banners (4 Banner Panels) for
one of the two back-to-back jerseys. It would
be a little less than 6' by 6'. You could make
it twice as wide and tall by using RMS Builders
instead of Banners.
Dale uses a
number of "Split Apertures" in his design to get
straight lines where the lines would otherwise be
bumpy. You will find links below to
instructions for split apertures and links to other
useful references as well.
Dale is one of
the first RouseABOUT Graphics Grads. He has
won a number of awards at design competitions in the
USA. Thanks, Dale ,for sharing this design
with us. |

"Christmas
Tree" |
|
© G. Rouse 2006 |
|
|
This is a
simple design for a Christmas Tree. You
can make it about 3.5' tall by using an RMS
Banner and a Mini-Matrix version of the RMS 5
Pointed Star. The same design turns out
about 7' tall when you use RMS Builders and a 2'
version of the RMS 5 Pointed Star on top.
Load
balloons in the triangle tree pattern and then
cut around it with scissors. Be sure to
include the five balloons for the tree trunk.
Add the five pointed star on top. You may
tie the star in place or use adhesive.
We recommend
making the tree double layer for added strength,
"presence" and to facilitate supporting
framework between layers. The added space
between layers is also useful to hide electric
wires for miniature Christmas lights.

RouseABOUTs were
in Milwaukee for the RouseABOUT Fall Balloon
Graphics Seminar 2006.
Pialena Ander came all
the way from Sweden for the seminar. Here,
she shows off a snowflake she made as part of the
lessons early in the seminar.
All the
RouseABOUT students stayed to help with production
of the Balloon-A-Palooza exhibit that followed.
In fact, RouseABOUT Graphics Grads made up the vast
majority of the volunteer manpower for the
Balloon-A-Palooza Workshop. Thanks, RouseABOUTS.
Balloon-A-Palooza is the creation of one of the
first RouseABOUT Graphics Grads and winner of a
variety of design competitions around the USA,
Carmen Ballering. This was only the second
year for Balloon-A-Palooza and early reports suggest
over 12,000 visitors to the exhibit.
Congratulations Carmen!
And, an added
"THANKS" to Betallic for all the balloons used this
year. |
