What a cute giraffe !
I wanted to make a gorilla friend for him, but my monkeys look like chimps, not gorillas :-/.

And I love your globe Tonya ! It's also a good idea for boys who want a "serious" balloon.

In the end, I'll post a girl I made a few weeks ago.

Cute girl Pepita!  I like the hair :-)

Here are more 'G' balloons...Grapes, Grail and Goldfish.

Wooaaa I love the grail ! How did you manage to do the top "hollow" part ? Seems like a mystery to me  :lol:  !

Thanks Pepita.  The top of the grail is actually Thelma Levett's technique.  She has instructions for how to do it on her 'Something for Everyone' CD.
http://www.balloonjam.com/thelma/.  I don't know if it's posted anywhere else.

I just put a 160 around the top so that it looked more hollow, and added a circular piece of sheet latex to try and make it look like a drink.

Doesn't anyone else have any 'G' balloons to post??  

Will put some up tonight    

Thanks Pepita for your offer to make a Gorilla friend for my Giraffe  

Gorillas are quite difficult to get right, I have never made a successful one. I may try after the weekend. Meanwhile here is a friend for your Girl !!!!

I have also just done a Goofy, and this Golfer I made a while ago for a birthday, is prety much the same as one I think Graham has on his website.

Talking of Graham, here are a couple of Guns he taught me  

Here are some from my album.

G is for Grumpy Old Git (My neighbour Martyn)  

G is for Golden Wedding Anniversary Bouquet

I had forgotten about that first gun design so will be using it again, it's like finding another new model  

I'm working on a 'G' that I haven't seen before - but so far it's rubbish.  :roll:  (I'm trying to get it right before the deadline!)

(PS - Martyn looks a bit scary, Kevin!  :shock: )

Thanks for the girl Kevin !
(and the guns too, I'm always at a loss with boys' stuff, so these could come in handy).

Well no gorilla, no problema  :mrgreen: .
Once upon a time, in a beautiful place in Africa, lived a young giraffe. He spent his days eating leaves and watching the gorgeous landscape. But he felt very lonely. He kept looking and looking but could not see anything else than trees, and the horizon.
In this area lived a gorilla too. He too, felt very lonely, as the only living thing he could see around him were weird spotted poles that kept walking but never talked...
One day....
Ask Grand'Ma, she'll tell you the tale :-)

I tried to make a book for her to read from, but did not manage, so if someone has a clue on how to make a book out of balloons (I tried flat weaving, but it did not look like a book :-().
And suggestions are welcome, it's my first balloon grand'ma and it looks a bit akward...

I put a blue dress because a teacher told me 20 years ago that grand'mas in Great Britain wore blue. Is it true ? In France they tend to wear brown.

Hi Pepita,

 what a lovely story, I must find out how it ends !!!!!!

I love your little Grandma, so cute  

Glad the guns will help you. Thanks Graham for them, he taught me them when he bought over my MacPump

Can't wait to see what Neil comes up with      

Looks like two weeks are up (well, two & a half sorry!).  All the entries were good but I especially liked Pepita's girl, Pheonix's Goofy and Tonya's grapes.  Hard to pick between the three however I think Tonya's has won with her grapes.  Well done!

On with H...

lol...thanks Matt.  I love ALL the figures that were posted!  Great ideas!
Good luck with the next couple of letters everyone, unfortunately I won't be able to participate until after May 25th  
I won't be on much between now and then, but I am definately excited to see what everyone posts!
Have fun!
