“Do you spin plates?” No, I prefer to stalk them. Like a giant jungle cat, or your tabby, I am always wary, alert to opportunities. Searching, seeking, observing. On the look out. The ebb, the flow of the jungle’s – er, festival’s- occupants. The trails to and from the watering hole, the buffet line, where my prey congregates. Places of concealment, possible distractions, dangers, impediments to my quest. For I am hungry. Deeply, urgently, hungry – for the chase! For the best tast…

We always have fun at the picnic, but this year was special. Being able to run the Bubble Tower late into the evening is always a treat. Hope you enjoy the photos as much as I did shooting them!

Here our Wayfinder Puppet directs traffic to the proper parking lot.

All the colors are there, you just need to seek them out!

Night bubbles create such a special atmosphere. Hard to describe, and such a delight to experience.

Another great photo, this one from the 2007 Denver Post coverage of the People’s Fair. Bubbles are a photographers friend! Look at those facial expressions! Bubbles in Denver, wheeee! This was the year we introduced the COW Bubble Tower. Made from a reclaimed/repurposed vinyl billboard the design was an immediate hit, and continues to be in demand at festivals and county fairs. The big pink udder never fails to get a chuckle.

For several years Aprapahoe Library District has offered our Stilt Walking Clinics at various libraries in the metro area. Lasting about an hour, the clinics feature instruction with several sizes of old fashioned hand held wood stilts, as well as bucket stilts made from two or three gallon pastry buckets.

The Library District also uses our Stilt Clinics as part of their community outreach in conjunction with their Bookmobile visits. They wrote a kind letter about their experience.

Many thanks t…

Our REcycled Bubble Tower made the front page of the Grand Island Independent newspaper: Our REcycled Bubble Tower is a combination of our COW and COFFEE Bubble Towers. Combining a reclaimed, repurposed, out dated billboard vinyl and dozens of colorful burlap and jute coffee bean bags from around the world, with bright and color filled patches of discarded polyester table cloths from the rental linen industry. I really like the fade resistant bright colors AND we get to keep some poly…
