The start of the pictures, so many turned up early and more arrived, then even more arrived and they kept coming all morning.
This was Ruby who had never twisted before, she seemed to get the hang of it pretty well with the rabbit in the basic class, Gabrielle starting her first session.

My effort of the guitar that Gabrielle taught, there were so many at the event that I could not get everyone in the one shot, this is half the room.

I had a great time as always.  Thanks to Graham, Gabrielle and everyone else who took part on the day.  I love Gabrielle's designs, and everyone at home loved the frog  :)

I also liked Graham's modifications to Gabrielle's guitar design to turn it into a plane, and his idea to use geo-blossoms instead of hearts for the wings.  I took this full circle and made a guitar with the geos.

Quote from: "Matt Cutland"I also liked Graham's modifications to Gabrielle's guitar design to turn it into a plane, and his idea to use geo-blossoms instead of hearts for the wings.
I have been making this design since January Matt, it originally started off as a geo wing plane, I was up one night late at the Florida Super jam and was playing with Geo shapes and what could be made from them etc. This was the original, there are other geo design's in the Florida thread under events,

There were so many variations on the frog which was very nice to see, the dolphin was an entry into the competition "under the sea"

The shark was Dan's 3 twist dog into something else entry, Tony with a shield/come hat. I think this is a design from Dale from mbd2, it works well though.

Some people made a little more effort than others for the under the sea competition entries, didn't they Russell  :D
The prize was the Beating book, "Magic Balloon Design" so a nice prize.
