Balloon Skin

This is the "Sun Burnt samurai" made by Rie Hosokai for the Diamond Jam 2006 Competition.

I really like his unique approach to making a balloon person. At first glance you don't think that is made of balloons.

I love the idea of using a larger balloon as a "skin" to cover the twisted structure. I have often tried such an approach myself.

It looks great, and is more realistic than any other method of making a balloon person that I have seen thus far.

I can't wait to see what else people with do with this technique.
