Title: Balloon Snap Week 18
Post by: indiespapa on September 14, 2013, 01:29:23 AM
I learn this balloon twisting by Michael Langerman in youtube.
I add the ears to make it look like a bear.
I've only got lime green 160 in hand, so you can use any colour to make it more look like a bear :D

It took me a while to figure how the geometrics of this worked.  But finally I did it!

I had a quick look at the model and made the mocha brown dogs. I then realised I'd made them wrong to the original posted picture so made them again.

I pre-stretched the 160 and left 12/13 fingers un-inflated. Just in case anyone was struggling a little. I think I made it at the 4th attempt.

This is a cute design, I have made Snails,ladybugs,birds,dogs,caterpillars, and flowers using this method. But never ever bears. I will try to have a go at this later. :)

Do you measure how inflated you have the balloon? I pre-stretched the balloon, inflated it and left 12/13 fingers un-inflated and then stretched the balloon again and then started twisting. If you are having trouble you could watch the step by step that was posted on YouTube, the link is above. I say step by step but have not watched it myself. Go on have another go, you don't want a piece of latex tubing to beat you, do you?  ;)  :)

Here's my attempt..

I did it in one go, and was well chuffed, then i realized that the neck was missing on one of the bears :roll:

So i made it again. :)
