Brilliant Roger      

Cheers Roger

I'm off to a show in a minute for a school, then a Russian lesson, then a meeting with a potential new host family for Chernobyl kids, so to make something with a Russian theme today is appropriate. I'll make something tonight.

Quote from: "Roger"Hi I will Tag Billy Wizz to make something Russian/Baltic you have seen on your visits.

During my tours to Belarus & Ukraine, I spend most of my time with children in orphanages and hospitals. So I decided I would choose a photo from an orphange for children with disabilities. I love this photo of teenage boy dressed as a spaceman and I'm sure you'll agree from the size of his smile that he loved his balloon.

The face on the balloon looks a bit strange as it has a clear 'mask' on the nose!

I would like to tag one of my favourite balloon twisters, I love all her work . . . . . . . . . I'll tag Tonya to make 'Thomas the tank engine' please, but only using 5 balloons or less . . . . . . and I'll apoligise now Tonya, because I'll probably steel your idea if you don't mind

Opps, just realised Tonya's name isn't on the list.  :oops:   I've PM'd her, if she's unavailable I'll then choose someone else.

lol...nope, I wasn't on the list (yet).  I was waiting until Twist & Shout was over before I joined in...  

But, I think it would be cool to try a new version of Thomas and I have an idea for it....so I'll take the challenge.      
I will try to get it done tomorrow or Friday.
And no...I don't mind if you steal it (you might want to wait and see if it turns out first though...lol).  

Thanks!  

okay...here is my Thomas.  I didn't quite make it with 5 balloons but it's not too bad.
It is actually 5, a round, and a scrap...does that count? (1-blue 350, 1-blue 260, 1-black 260, 1-black 160, 1-red 160,
1- 5" white round and a white scrap 160 for the smoke.

hmmmm, let's see...who should I tag?    I think I will tag Smiggle to make Puss in Boots from Shrek  

Fantastic Tonya, that's the first top class Thomas I've seen.

thanks  :-)

It really doesn't take that long to put it together.  Maybe 7 to 8 minutes tops.  It's the artwork that takes a bit - if you want it to look nice...lol.  But even that isn't horrible.  It's very similar to the one on my 'Boys' DVD...just a little different.    

Arghh OK - err puss in boots - I'll have a bash in the next couple of days - a swash buckling moggie hmmm

OK - not a good effort but it is cat (sort of) wearing boots but no hat or cape I'm afraid - I've been traveling a lot this week so haven't had much time - that and my lack of talent didn't help but if I don't join in stuff like this I won't progress
 - Oh and I tag K J Ents to make anything with wheels

it's cute Smiggle!  Thanks for giving it a go!

Something with wheels.....ok, will get onto it in the next couple of days, as have a busy weekend with bookings. Will try a pick something wheely different.  

Ok...here goes!
Snoopy on a motorcycle....(well it could be if you blur your eyes and look at it from a strange angle.. )

As we are approaching Valentines day and I always get in trouble for remembering to get anything, I tag Dave to make a Valentines gift, without using a heart.

I'm working away at the mo, but when I get back I'll be all over it
