Book Description 
Balloon decorators are always looking for new and innovative concepts to create memorable occasions. Balloon entertainers focus on the use of non-round balloons to create unique effects. At
last, these two groups can come together using balloon fabric (aka weaving) techniques. 

Using this CD, any balloon artist can learn to create massive balloon figures using dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of balloons. Larry's balloon fabric creation techniques have been used in decor for small rooms as well as television studios. 

This book on CD-ROM, aimed at experienced balloon artists, contains all of the information needed to begin making balloon fabrics using circular, spiral, and criss-cross methods. In addition to many pages full of explanations and drawings, this CD contains nearly 30 minutes of video. Included in this package are examples of many pieces created using balloon fabrics. One of those is a project
involving 15,000 balloons.
