The wings give it such a nice texture, and making them is bit of a challenge - which is exactly why I should build them again and again and again. This is also my favorite type of photo, 'balloon animals in the wild'. There's something about putting them in a real environment… ## [August 18 - Rockstar Dawg](https://dailypurplepig.blogspot.com/2026/08/august-18-rockstar-dawg.html) _2026-08-18 · Mason · Daily Purple Pig_ "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now." ~ Proverb You don't have to be smart to succeed. A book-on-tape on how to be successful in business made an observation that has stuck with me ever since. Looking back, it wasn't necessarily the people who had ranked high academically who had become most successful. Often, it was the opposite. The idea was that some… ## [August 17 - Cedric the Small](https://dailypurplepig.blogspot.com/2026/08/august-17-cedric-small.html) _2026-08-17 · Mason · Daily Purple Pig_ MONTESSORI SCHOOL OF RIVERMARK FIELD TRIP PERMISSION SLIP Name: \_\_\_\_CEDRIC THE SMALL\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ Teacher: \_\_\_\_MRS.

Like the original bad, before it became cool. Rockstar isn't a color last I checked, and honestly 'pink chrome'? Be better, Tuftex. Be - better. I don't want to be "that guy", but these balloons are lousy to… ## [August 14 - Gorillas](https://dailypurplepig.blogspot.com/2026/08/august-14-gorillas.html) _2026-08-14 · Mason · Daily Purple Pig_ "It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change." ~ Charles Darwin Today was obviously inspired by yesterday's gorillas. Geo balloons have been out of print for a while now, which has unfortunately made a number of older specialty balloon tutorials difficult to reproduce as originally taught. Matt Falloon used them in quite a… ## [August 13 - Gorilla](https://dailypurplepig.blogspot.com/2026/08/august-13-gorilla.html) _2026-08-13 · Mason · Daily Purple Pig_ "Any fool can be happy. It takes a man with real heart to make beauty out of the stuff that makes us weep." ~ Clive Barker I have a dentist named Dr. Cheek. I sometimes wonder if he was fated to be a dentist with a name like that. I think the same think about Matt Falloon and balloons. Falloon, as his gym teacher used to call him, is an amazing craftsperson, artist, and all-around cool guy. And… ## [August 12 - Monarch Butterfly](https://dailypurplepig.blogspot.com/2026/08/august-12-monarch-butterfly.html) _2026-08-12 · Mason · Daily Purple Pig_ "Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out." ~ Robert Collier I'm playing around again with the ideas behind the Isopresso butterfly and thought to try a monarch. I like how the upper wing turned out, but the curve on the lower wing probably needs another attempt or two. I considered using a bunch of puff inflates to outline the wings, but that felt like too much when it was… ## [August 11 - Coffee Dawg](https://dailypurplepig.blogspot.com/2026/08/august-11-coffee-dawg.html) _2026-08-11 · Mason · Daily Purple Pig_ "Hell is - other people!" ~ Jean-Paul Sartre, No Exit Sartre was not simply saying other people were awful. He was talking about how being observed by others changes the way we see ourselves. Imagine you are alone in an elevator. You're not particularly thinking about anything - just leaning against the wall, picking at the crumbs on your shirt, quietly humming the song that's stuck in your head.… ## [Trade Bitcoin and Ethereum Today (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/1tegyeWTgiMq) _2026-08-11 · **Sponsored**_ Buy, sell, and margin trade BTC and ETH with EUR, USD, CAD, GBP, or JPY. ## [August 10 - The Harvest Dancer](https://dailypurplepig.blogspot.com/2026/08/august-10-harvest-dancer.html) _2026-08-10 · Mason · Daily Purple Pig_ Mushrooms don't grow simply because of the rain. Every autumn, when the rains have softened the earth, the Harvest Dancer returns. With each pirouette, hidden threads beneath the soil awaken. Tiny caps push through the forest floor in widening circles. Graceful steps coax clusters of mushrooms up through the moss, as if called to the dance in its wake. By dawn, the Harvest Dancer has vanished…
