Largest Balloon Sculpture


This one is going to get you totally crazy.That is because the story seems very unconventional.But kudos to the man behind it.Yes we are talking about the Largest Balloon sculpture made by Adam Lee with the cooperation of the Great Wolf Lodge Lobby  at Grand Mound.
We normally see balloon as the most loved toy among kids.Kids love to fly balloon and see it floating in the air.Colours of the balloon can just make the kids so excited  about the whole idea of having the balloon itself.But here Lee saw the favourite children's toy with a different purpose.Adam Lee the famous balloon twisting artist got the chance to exploit his skills and this effort turned out to be a record breaker let alone a record setter.Lee broke the record of the 16 ft by 12 ft  balloon sculpture and emerged victorious.
The Whole sculpture measured  45 ft 2 inches wide , 22 ft 2 inches long  consisted of 2,975 balloons  to resemble the shape of  a great big  spider.That proved to be an ambitious feat of Art.
It was the outcome of working 10 hours each day for six days.Lee offered some mathematical tip by stating that if he had placed the inflated  balloons end to end then then the whole structure would have stretched  about two and half miles.
The balloon sculpture which was shaped to look like a spider could add some halloween effect for the guests who come to visit the lodge.The grand big spider display at the lobby could delight them if they come to know that it is made up of balloons.
The Largest Ballon sculpture measuring 45 ft 2 inches wide,22 ft by 2 inches long was set by Adam Lee at Great Wolf Lodge at Great Mound,Washington,United States of America on October 20,2011.
