Hello Everyone! I am totally new to the wonders of twisting. I have tried a few things now and am getting a little better - breaking only 2 out of 10 now.....ha ha ha!  :oops:  sometimes more if it is a new thing I am trying out!!!

I saw some amazing balloon twisters at the last couple of face painting jams and conventions I went to and was just blown away by what some of you do. The patience and creativity required are totally different from the painting I do..... and perhaps the adrenaline of the potential pop keep it exciting and feeling a little more dangerous. If I don't do a fantastic face I can sprinkle glitter, touch it up or the kid may like it still - but it doesn't explode and make everyone in a 15 foot radius jump!

I love your forum and am looking forward to growing and learning so I can give back something....one day.....

Thanks for having me.  Some pics of my first creations.....

1.Rattlesnake (Ed Chee design)
2. Flamingo Hat (Ed Chee design)
3. My little RedHead holding the "geoball" (no idea where this one originated)

apparently i need some hints in uploading - tried 3 diff ways....

Welcome to the forum  
Here are a couple of threads about uploading pictures to the site, hope they help.

Success! Thanks Graham! I am still not sure how some pics are displayed lengthwise on the forum.... It def will not accept mine if they are 600 wide and 480 high ONLY 600 high and 480 wide (or less....)

Is there a way it will accept it lengthwise? is there another secret?

Just size the picture down to 480 wide max and 600 high, although the picture will look better if kept in proportion.

Have just rotated and resized, your original was 500 wide so I had to reduce it to 480 to fit onto the forum.

Hi Wyndy,

I live in Florida too. Tampa Bay Jammers meet once a month in Dunedin Florida. (near Clearwater) at the Dunedin Fine Arts Center on the second sunday of the month. 1:30 pm - 4 pm then we usually retreat to a local restaurant and jam more.

Feel free to contact me if you any other questions.

Thanks Mark! I met you in Jan in Orlando (You were the plane and I was the tractor in the Wolfes' class!) I would love to come if I can arrange it to the artist's jam!!! Thank you!

Twist a Fit!
