:D It's an old concept of myself, but I finally made out the model recently. It's a pen holder, and the balloon actually is a container for stationery. Hope you like it, and comments please

As usual Nikklemomo, quite amusing and fresh.
I'm not sure about the practicality of the receptacle stationery compartment part, and that of the space the entire piece will occupy on a desk - the ergonomics of it.
The name also is rather negative. For a creatively amusing design the name is off. Allow me to suggest "Boom!" (as opposed to boomblamao - often used here) although that too could have a negative connotation seeing the times we live in... Be more creative with the name.
Allow me to also suggest you have the girl figure interact more with the design by having her hand as another pen holder ready to burst the balloon.

:D Thanks a lot.
To Sama~: Oh, very detailed comments:) Thank you so much. Yep, I agree with you about the name problem, " Boom!" might be much more impressive. Using the girl as another pen holder sounds good, I will think of it. Always love to hear your comments, really, thanks again.
To prewe and Amy: Thank you so much~:p

this is a very creative concept and you have done a great job on the model.
as suggested earlier, maybe it could be made more practical and have the girl interact more.
the pencil ready to pop the balloon is a great idea, and perhaps you could make the back of the balloon penetrable, and it could be used to hold thumbtacks, simply by sticking them in there.
however this may play with your concept, as a balloon with thumbtacks in it would surely have already popped!
another idea is the girl holding a string to which the balloon is connected.
or put a backpack on her back, which could conceal a fixed pencil sharpener!
so many ideas to play with, i'm sure this will be great :) good luck!

Wow muffin, thank you so much:D You really inspire me a lot. The girl's body is a pencil sharpener, great idea, I love it~
