Pair of cephalopods
Balloon creations are a fun feature of the Fringe street entertainment that I look out for each year. There are 4 spots and each has their own style. Each year the creations seem to be more elaborate than the last, like the bouquet of flowers I showed last week - back in the day I'm sure a single flower was exclaimed over. Last year big hats seemed to be the thing but this year I noticed that a lot of kids were carrying the same, unexpected animal - an octopus
it seems an unlikely star although I can see it does lend itself to balloon shapes. And I like how the multi-coloured octopus is under a multi coloured umbrella while the red octopus is on a plain umbrella.
I like their big eyes ... a fun pair.
ReplyDeleteIt's so clever. Little E bought his uncle a balloon modelling kit for his birthday. Maybe I'll suggest he starts with an octopus?
ReplyDeleteThey do look great fun and make wonderful colourful pictures. I wonder how many of those get home in one piece!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful colourful pairing - I like the eyelashes on the multicoloured Cephalopoda.
ReplyDeleteBright cheerful and how creative. I have never seen a balloon vendor or creator of such wonderful beasts.
ReplyDeleteBoth are really cute . . . and colorful!
ReplyDeleteI've not seen those before. It's usually dogs and hats around here. I was having a close look through all your Fringe photos in case my friend, who was performing there this year, had put in an appearance!
ReplyDeletevery fun!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWell chosen! I like how the red one has a round balloon for a head while the multicoloured one is made such that the stripes continue throughout.
ReplyDeleteA fun pair I can see that an octopus is a good shape for balloons.
