For me, it depends on how the clowns wear their make-up. If the they wear them in a good way, then no, I won't be afraid of them. (: If they wear them to make themselves look happy forcefully, such as by painting a big smiley on their faces (which, by the way, I find to be quite creepy), then I'll end up being a bit intimidated by them. The last time I've seen a clown was six years ago when I was fourteen, at one of my friend's birthday party.
As for balloon sculptures, my favorite would have to beee… the swords. I love hitting people with them. I know how to make them as well, but it takes me a lot of time. I'm just not a professional, y'know? xD"
