Graham I love these snails! I never thought snails could be a fun animal but they look fab. Do you mind I try to make one?

Please do, that is why we share and please post your efforts.........thanks.

Well I am so proud of my 'special' snail.

His eyes weren't like that when I started out! Not sure what happened haha! But this is the first thing I've made without following a direct tutorial. :-D

Also, he has reigns on. Just because. (Just because I couldn't make his head stay up! I think a bigger pinch twist at the base next time?)

EDIT - just covering up my current assignment - I highly doubt any of you are about to steal my work but just in case!

Well done for trying and it's good to see balloon chat on in the background    You could shock twist his neck a little, this is explained in the tutorial section.

Thanks Graham - I will take a look at that.

(I can't stop laughing at his eyes!!) How am I supposed to twist the 5" round? Should I leave extra air in there when I inflate it, ie tie the knot as far away as possible? I tried that first but kept ending up with 3 bubbles rather than two as the air kept escaping into the extra space. But should I twist it so the knot is central? It feels pretty tight really?

Sorry Graham - do you have the link to the shock twist? I can't seem to find it.

Thanks.

It was under friction twist but is the same thing, friction-twist-shaping-t1092.html
