Artist's Comments

I helped to construct this at my first Balloon event with two other guys for a competition, it took us 17 hours to complete with the 3 of us working like the clappers

He is made entirely out of Qualatex brand balloons

When I first looked at Rest your weary feet by =mrballoonatic I thought it was a knitted piece work until I saw the details of the note and the enlarged photo. The dedication and amount of time that must have gone into creating this piece as well as assembling it is staggering. (Suggested by =ChimeraDragonfang and Featured by ^Thebuild)

It will be very awesome to see if you will create a Baloon Video Game System with baloon joystics and other stuff! :lol:

This is amazing! How do you construct it to hold the weight of 3 people? I can easily believe it took 17 hours--the construction is exceptional. So are the details, such as the floral patterns throughout, the bolster pillows, and the feet of the sofa out of brown balloons. It also has a great depth to it with lighter green balloons showing through the spaces created by the darker green ones. Brilliant work!

:iconmrballoonatic:
well we had to pop the ends off some of the balloons to make them the right size so that we wouldn't be wasting too many balloons ... so you could say hundreds of them :D
:iconmrballoonatic:
About 4 ... maybe 5 hundred green balloons ...

For the extra pillows 2 mocha brown and maybe 14 blush balloons!
