Perhaps the first thread in this section, I want to know what your favorite balloons would be. Brand, size, and color if you can be specific enough! For me I love any kind of huge balloon, I'm not very picky!

Re: Your Favorite Balloons
Hi!
I'm a huge fan of Belbal. Personally i like the 14 inch, they get an amazing neck and can be pushed really far before popping
Also believe it or not, the really cheap, neon Walmart balloons are amazing! They're made with this strange, unique kind of latex that can be stretched amazingly easy and get HUGE! Blowing them up a few times can give them a ridiculously huge neck. I think those might be my favorite because they're cheap, get really huge, pop nicely, and have a really cool neon, transparent color when fully inflated. If yall are from the US I HIGHLY recommend you give them a shot.Comment

Re: Your Favorite Balloons
Hmm, Ebay might possibly work, i've never actually searched for them on there. I would send you some but I've never actually sent anything overseas before. I wouldn't know what to do or how much it would costComment

Re: Your Favorite Balloons
I loooove huge balloons. The bigger the better. I love being able to sink into them, and squeeze them against me while I ride them. I get my full weight on it and push myself into it until I "pop" (if you get what I mean) my favorites are big 4 foot ones from Dollarama. If you're in Canada or the U.S. check them out. Not sure if they have Dollarama in the U.K.Comment

Re: Your Favorite Balloons
I think others do this too, but at least in my art, I use a mix of big and small because there is a unanticipated contract between big and small contour and motif. We will often use small balloons on our popping shoots and big balloons as furniture in the office. There's a use for every size. Personally I have never liked anything smaller than 16" or bigger than a 36" round or a gl1200.
Figurines are our current interest. That, I would say is dependant upon the day however.Comment

Re: Your Favorite Balloons
I have to say that I am a fan of Unique 16"s because they get stretched out so easily and you can blow them up a lot bigger than 16", the colours are also really consistent.
SA24's are excellent furniture pieces because they are so stretchy, but can get up to 40"s
GL700 and 1200s are also great to have. Expensive but good. I have three in my office as chair in my waiting area, and use a 48" qua latex as an office chair. cool huh?
Another cool make is a Suzuki Peacock 18", the colours are just unmatched
Tilly workers are great for putting lights in, but its dangerous.
But Unique 29"s have to be the favourite because they are more accessible than SA24s, are VERY soft and stretchy but durable, have very few holes, and can pop cleanly (good for stuffing).
All of these are fun to pop. Very fun to pop, actually. I have to say popping any of these is enjoyable because you can actually, generally, predict the blast patterns, and it gets very, very loud.Comment
