Expecting my first mixed bag of 350s in the next couple of days. Any suggestions as to what to try first? :)
Love to hear what you all tried with your first lot of 350s.

Hi Stuart

You are unlikely to make a balloon using only 350Qs. If I was to pick something to make using 350Qs I would choose the Buzz Lightyear backpack by David Brenion. It is also fun to take an existing design in 260Q and simply upscale it using bigger balloons.

Please post what you make as I am sure we would all love to see.

Enjoy!

350s are great.  Almost all the sculptures I make use at least one.

To name some favourites,

Caterpillar with 16O antennae and 260 legs.

Dog with 260 ears and scraps for tongue and nose.

T-rex with 260 arms and legs and 160 spines on the back and tail.

Plus throwing several onto Amy type of hat!

Thanks for the input. Will have a look at the galleries and tutorials for further inspiration. I just can't picture how they work with other balloons but will enjoy finding out.
Will certainly post any effort I do come up with. :D

With this Rabbit you can see how 260's and 360's work together

Well,  here it is, the first 350 model I have made. Will check out the teddy and rabbit links next. I did find them quite hard to initially work with and had a burst straight away, but I was pleased with the end result.
I guess sometimes size does matter!
