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! 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 [...]
A great photo of stilts being used in a Palasade, CO peach orchard. Much faster than moving a ladder around, orchard stilts can be used to help with pruning and fruit thinning. This design is similar to the one I used here:Build Your Own Stilts Plans for building your own stilts used to be published [...]
The Northern Colorado Chabad were kind to ask me to help them celebrate “Purim Under the Sea”. Decked out in pirate gear the celebrants welcomed bubble chasing and stilt walking. Not wanting to “drown” the kids (or the carpet) in bubbles, I adjusted the mini Bubble Tower to produce mostly singular bubbles in the [...]

Since the Bubble Tower is nearly silent in operation it becomes a welcome spot to gather. Use the Bubble Tower as a center piece, gate way, or activity feature, and [...]
“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 [...]
Felix – the Bubble Wright , a friend of mine in Delaware, was just published in Renaissance Magazine under his non de plume Torrey Seifenblase, an article titled Renaissance Bubble Machine. “Imagine that Leonardo da Vinci designed a bubble machine . . . .” He mentions that Peiter Bruegel the Elder did a painting in [...]
There are a number of events where Red, White, and Blue are appropriate, so I thought I would put together some photos for you. Custom designs welcomed.
Some more Sky Dancing, and an early Giant Parade Puppet. In the opening segment, I am “conducting” the CSO at the Lone Tree summer concert series. The sod was pretty soft from rain, and I kept sinking into the sod! Keeping ahead of the kids was a real challenge, but it all worked out. Judge [...]
