Hi to all, great web site, thought the tutorial parts were fantastic.

On looking at various parts of the site I was wondering if anyone could suggest what dvd's are best for a novice ( who has mastered the bear, the dog etc etc ) I have seen various dvd's for sale, is there a step ladder of dvd's to buy and work up too ?

I want to add figures etc to my balloon decorating biss - I am not looking to twist at parties.

I just did not want to buy ones that were way over my head to start with.

If any one could advise I would be grateful. Hope this email is clearer than I think it reads.

Thanking you in advance for any advise - rgds Debbie WOW Balloons

:idea:

Hi Debbie,

You could also try Youtube, there's loads of video clips showing many basic balloons. Just search for balloon animals and you'll be surprised at what comes up.

If you have a look around this forum, there are also many members who have their own DVD's with some really nice models which I think are suitable even for beginners.

Debbie, that was a tongue in cheek reply as the front room tapes are what I call my DVD's but there are many good DVD's on the market.
If you do a search on here, I put my complete collection on although I need to update it now as last time I was in the US I bought about another 10 or so to add to them.

Just a few to look out for,
Thelma Levett
Bonnie Davis
Jeanine von Essein
Patricia Bunnell

and possibly Graham Lee ;)

I can thoroughly recommend Thelma's Nice and Easy and Two and a bit CDs. They were really great for a beginner like myself, easy to understand and make.
