Smoky Hill River Fest in photos

In June, we created an installation at the Smoky Hill River Arts Festival. We love the Smoky Hill Fest for many reasons and look forward to attending each year. Even if it takes a plane ride and a rental car to get there, this festival is worth the trip. Check it out!

Here are pics of this year's installation on a pedestrian bridge over the Smoky Hill River:

State Fair

We've just returned from 11 days of large scale balloon sculpting in Tulsa, Oklahoma. What a nice city and their state fair is loads of fun! We sculpted scenes from the Tulsa State Fair, using more than 10,000 balloons.

The Sugar Art Show, subject of several Food Network specials, is held at the Tulsa State Fair. Johnna was excited to see the cakes in person, meet Marina from Just Cake and replicate a few favorite cakes with balloons.

Our installation in Tulsa included a ticket booth, the winner of a pie contest, a pie-eating contest, bumper cars, a petting zoo, the Sugar Art Show, the state fair queen, a carousel and a 15 foot tall ferris wheel.
