On May 15th Univision’s Sábado Gigante will feature a balloon sculpture building contest between three well know Latino soap opera stars on their “Si Se Puede” or “Yes, it is possible.” segment. Carmen taught the actors for four days at her Event Decorating Academy. They learned so much that they were able to complete large sized balloon sculptures on air by the end of the week. Everyone including Carmen had a great time. The actors are competing to win $5,000 for a family in need.
Here is a photo taken at the studio with Novelas (Soap Opera) Actors Rafael Marcante, Julio Mannino & Aitor Iturroz.
Here is a sneak peak of the show. I’ll post the video and pictures after the show airs on May 15th:
For the past four years, Carmen Ballering has been designing the most unique and detailed art pieces ever see in the balloon industry. Carmen is the first artist to build art sculptures completely out of uninflated balloons. While some other artists have done some smaller pieces using uninflated balloons, Carmen’s Artex© 3D sculptures use techniques and flair that has never been used by any other artist. Carmen introduced these masterpieces to the balloon industry after being well received by the public in art exhibits. Carmen’s artistry is in high demand throughout the world.
Carmen was asked to make these special Artex pieces (princess dress below) for Tedd & Betty from Pioneer Balloon Company.
In 2005, Carmen designed and produced Balloon-a Palooza, a new community balloon art exhibit that was attended by over 9,000 people.
In 2006 & 2007 the Balloon-a-Palooza attendance grew to over 12,000 people. It was recognized as the largest balloon art exhibit in the country for its record attendance. The event used over 100,000 balloons.
