Objects of Fine Glass Art for the 21st Century.

Balloonatics Enterprises

Beautiful balloons made from recycled light bulbs enclosed in intricate copper wire patterns. Jeweler Michael Wiegand designs and handcrafts each one in Salida, Colorado.

What are they? Individually handcrafted, miniature glass hot air balloons made from light bulbs. Ranging from 3 - 14 inches in height they are used as Christmas ornaments, suncatchers, ceiling fan or light pulls, lamps, kaleidoscopes and more. They make terrific pilot, crew, and sponsor gifts and quantity discounts are available. Custom designs can be built to match actual hot air balloons. See our new Gallery of Lamps!

Our balloons are available in 14 sizes and 42 styles. The best way to find one just right for you is to stop in our shop or call us toll free at 1-877-784-7574. We'll take the time this deserves. The glass may be clear, frosted (acid-etched), or painted on the inside. All painting is done on the interior to withstand a lifetime of dusting and cleaning. Prices range from $25 up to $7500 for most patterns. Every balloon comes with free engraving.
