This week I attended a class with Niko Fric who demonstrated a special usage of his Nikoloon system (how to make a face).
Then I played with this system, and came out this pinwheel and flower based on hearts. I hope, you will love them.

No, the tool contains just a line of photo instructions of how to connect two balloons.

Here is my first own face design using Nikoloon.

Leslie......I have seen this online and wondered how it was done.  Thanks for posting.  Your designs are very nice.  Do you like working with this tool?  It looks like it would be time consuming.  Do you think you would use these for "make ahead projects?"  It's hard to guess the time factor never having tried it.  Thanks for this information.........Suzon

Hi Suzon,

Yes, I like working with Nikoloon tool, I think, it is a very good tool. You can use a raisin twist instead of this but I think sometimes this is better, faster, or just more simple.
Making this face was somewhere between a ½ and ¾ of an hour. Making the face is not so difficult like making the eyes. You know: practice, practice, and practice...

Hi Leslie.....Your superhero head designs could also pass for alien heads!  And I love the Rolls dog!  Too cute!  If you can make dogs that small, you should try making balloon earrings or pendants.  I bet you could start a new market for balloons, lol!  Balloon jewelry!  You are very talented!........Suzon
