As i get more into twisting I will probably need to buy more single colours as opposed to the mixed bags I've been using up till now.
Any suggestions on a good basic colour 'palette' to stock a busking bag for line work / busking??
What else is in your bag / box apart from the balloons??

Don't reply to this because you'll probably suggest ten bags of every colour you stock in 160. 260 and 360's :lol: :lol:
19 colors: Red solid, (grey & Clear), (Blush, Chocolate, Mocha), (yellow,goldenrod,orange) (dk blue, Robin egg, Pale), (rose,lavender, violet purple), (lime,wintergreen, Dk Green, teal) .....Added to this is 160's white,black,blush, clear and carnival assortment. All in a gallon size ziplock bag un-closed this gets inserted into my belt pouch.
To see a visual of this go here and click back and forth thru my pictures:

Thanks Mark - that helps - it will be interesting to see how other twisters think on this.
Unfortunately my kids are 26 and 30 so I don't have a cheap labour pool available... it looks like I will have to do it all by myself... (looking for sympathy... anyone? any where?? ... oh well) :D :D

Hi Smiggle,
Red, orange, greens, blues, black, browns, yellow, white, pink, purple, clear, blush, silver, gold. Plus Light/darker versions of some of them.
I also have round balloons, in 5" and 9" and some 646's, 360's, 160's & hearts too.
In addition to the balloons: Sharpie pens (retractable) in red green blue and black. Scissors, and biz cards. I usually have my list of stuff I do in my pocket, just in case i forget and get stuck in a rut of the same model.
All in a double balloon buskers bag.
hope that helps
Danny

Well even though I was asked not to reply :D
Here is what I use when I'm out twisting, the triple busking bag is about 2/3 rds full of all the 260 fashion colour range with mixed bags of 160's & 360's.
I also have 160' & 260' in mixed metallic bags as well.
In the screw box that I got from a large DIY chain there is again the full range of 260 plus in the front left compartment I have small selection of 160's with a few black marker pens & hearts. The front right compartment has the 360's, a pair of scissors and a balloon cutter in.
Hope you dont mind me joining in on this thread :lol:

Thanks Guys
That's very helpful I'll start building that up over the next month or so hopefully it will increase productivity in line situations and keep the wife a little happier because there are no... errr... OK... not so many part bags hanging around the house.
I saw the screw box at Birmingham Care and Share Graham and I like that idea too.
I use velcro tape like Marks to keep all the cables etc for my disco in order so I can now get my rear in gear and sort myself out
Very restrained Graham - thanks :lol: :P
