September 27 - Sweet Beaver


Pines a thousand years old. Every year they must go farther for them: they recede, like beavers and Indians, before the white man.

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

This is it! - the final balloon from Eric Weinstein's Sweet Cheeks Volume 2 - and yes he did get a bit "cheeky" with this one.

This beaver is probably the most involved creation on the video, there are a lot of different balloons and you must pay attention to the sizes of a few elements or it will be a mess as my first attempt was.

I made a giant beaver out of these awesome new Betallatex 11" hearts, but it got me thinking about (and this might show my age) how big and awkward Beaver got on Leave it to Beaver.  Cute as a tiny boy to say "Gosh Wally!" - but so awkward that they tried to pretend he was still so young in the later episodes.

Oh Ward.

Here is the full list of Sweet Cheeks from volume 2:
Ladybug
Monkey
Panda
Mouse
Hippo
Bull
Lemur
Yellow Angry Bird
Lion
Beaver (you are here!)



Big Beefer

When is lunch?  Tree o'clock.

Well I'll be dammed!  We've finished building all the sweet cheeks!
