July 29 - Baltimore Oriole

"Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best."

~ Henry Van Dyke

I am a magpie when it comes to learning balloon techniques.  I like little shiny things, clever twists and an occasional length of string.  That's how nests get built.

... and yet.  

An impressive nest isn't simply a collection of neat little things.  It's the arrangement of those things that separates beauty from a pile of colorful junk.

This Baltimore Oriole uses one of Isopresso's bird designs, and the design is one of those things I want to make often enough that I can make it well.
