Balloons and UGlu\u00ae just go together, and so do sisters Joanne Zerpa and Barbara Llinas (aka “Globos Manas.”) Joanne and Barbara are professional balloon artists who work together to make incredible balloon arrangements and run balloon workshops. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Today we\u2019ll take a closer look at what they do and see how Pro Tapes\u00ae UGlu\u00ae<\/a> products help them with their amazing balloon work!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tell us about you two! What sparked your interest in balloon art?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We are two sisters who started working together in the balloon industry back in May 2008. We started out as distributors of Anagram and Kaleidoscope foil balloons nationwide in Venezuela.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we visited our clients who used these balloons in their amazing work, our interest in working with balloons ourselves quickly grew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2009, we began to work with latex balloons. In the following years, we attended many balloon workshops and classes offered all around this wonderful world, where we met incredible people with impressive talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Little by little, we began to specialize in our own techniques, which led us to venture into hosting workshops ourselves during the pandemic. We continue to offer classes now, while balancing the needs of our clients who request daily balloon arrangements and decorations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Globos<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What do you like most about being balloon artists?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

There’s a lot of things we like about being balloon artists! The main thing is seeing the final result of our work and the emotions that we inspire in our clients. Each arrangement and decoration is unique and personalized to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each workshop we carry out is a unique experience, too! We don\u2019t just teach; we also learn from our class participants. 1000% effort goes into each workshop. We thank God for each experience and the great friendships that we have made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a wonderful world, where day by day we continue to learn and work hard so we can offer the best. Our slogan is why we like what we do: We are LAS MANAS (the sisters, in Spanish.) We\u2019re in it together!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did you discover UGlu\u00ae products?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We discovered UGlu\u00ae<\/a> through Planet Balloons Venezuela.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Using<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How does UGlu\u00ae improve your work as a balloon artist? What do you like about it?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

UGlu\u00ae<\/a> helps us so much in our work! We are known for our impeccable compositions. We pay attention to every fine detail of our work. UGlu\u00ae makes it so easy to create this highly-detailed level of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UGlu\u00ae is easy to use, it\u2019s practical, it\u2019s portable, and it comes in many different shapes and sizes to match any type of project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tell us more about the Floral Mural you created this year! It has gained a lot of attention.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We were preparing for an online master class back in April 2022 (one of the many online courses that we offer worldwide.) To help market the class, we did several live shows, showing some techniques to demonstrate our knowledge and ability to train future entrepreneurs in the world of balloons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During one of these live shows, we just happened to create something different! Something really artistic that shows more than just balloons. This mural is really tall, too! It\u2019s about 7-8 feet tall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What inspired you to create this mural?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We were inspired by the natural beauty of women and what their hair represents. A woman’s hair speaks for itself, it indicates personality and moods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How did UGlu\u00ae help you create this mural?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It was actually our first experience using UGlu\u00ae<\/a>! We needed a glue that would provide us with a super strong and long-lasting hold that would not be noticeable in the final balloon arrangement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We found that the UGlu\u00ae Dashes fit all of our requirements: it performed impeccably. UGlu\u00ae did not leave residues or damage the walls, and it was easy to remove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We used exactly five hundred and fifty UGlu\u00ae Dashes to hold together all 270 flowers and 20 leaves that you see in this balloon mural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It lasted a long time, too! We kept the artwork up for 8 days and we think it could\u2019ve held even longer than that, but we had to clean the wall off for new projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We always tell our students to work with quality and responsibility, to take good care of the infrastructures to be decorated (thus guaranteeing a new contract in the future.) UGlu\u00ae Dashes are essential to meet these goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tell us about the special feature this floral mural got from Qualatex!<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It is an honor that our work has been recognized and appreciated by Qualatex, being that they are currently the #1 balloon company in the world! Their recognition meant that the photos of this mural got shared all around the world, and we are thankful for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you have any other favorite projects you\u2019d like to talk about?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll show you a whole gallery of balloon art that was created with the help of UGlu\u00ae<\/a>! The red hearts, the wearable wings, the different holiday decorations – ALL of them are held together using UGlu\u00ae! That is why, in our workshops and classes, UGlu\u00ae is the first tool we put on everyone\u2019s tables. \u270c\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If someone has never used UGlu\u00ae for their balloon arrangements before, what advice would you give them?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Again, we would emphasize the importance of working with top quality materials, like UGlu\u00ae<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our workshops, we talk about all the materials we work with, and we show every presentation of UGlu\u00ae that we have available. Our workshop participants always want to work with UGlu\u00ae after they\u2019ve seen how easy and practical it is!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planet Balloons Venezuela has also talked to us about Pro Gaff\u00ae<\/a> and how we could incorporate this product in our decorations. They mentioned that Pro Gaff\u00ae can be used to cover tubes and bases. We haven\u2019t had the opportunity to try this tape yet, however\u2026 Hey Pro Tapes\u00ae, can we get a sample kit? \ud83d\ude09 \ud83d\ude01<\/p>\n\n\n\n
