With THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY coming out in a month, it seems that everyone is going a little J.R.R. Tolkien crazy. One artist took his love of the LORD OF THE RINGS to the next level by recreating the Baggins’ residence – entirely out of balloons!
It took famous balloon artist Jeremy Telford 2,600 balloons and 40 hours to complete the replica of Bag End. He included some of the important details described in the LORD OF THE RINGS, including the Hobbit Smial, a fireplace and a chandelier!
Surprisingly enough, it only took him one whole weekend to construct the Hobbit nook. That’s a lot of hours of twisting and blowing up balloons! Take a look at the zany balloon Bag End for yourself!
