Tried a couple of variations and then we also wanted the Dog to sit up taller, so again
tried on some pieces under the front legs to see the look and feel for the design.

The Dog was tweaked all weekend here and there.

David went the extra mile in selling a bag of balloons with a nicely positioned bow  ;D  ;D
We were interviewed for a show or download stream and they asked what got us interested
and started in balloon modelling.... so I had to make the Hippo.

Then we had a little make a quick and easy Dinosaur with someone on the stand and ended up with a few variations.

David made the Flowers and Shield and someone was after a Fox so I made my old classic design
that is on BalloonTube if anyone did want to have a go at making it.

I think the lady from the Bicycle playing card company asked about making a bicycle so David obliged.
Plus David made the cat as well.

We had a competition over on my Facebook page to guess how many balloons were used in the Dog design.
The winners were,

We have a winner, the answer was 445 balloons used and 11 popped. We did not need the tie break question as with a guess of
450 Adrian Catch is the winner. Thanks to all who entered and Adrian would you like 3 balloon DVD's or you can join us
