Here are a few of my first twists, theres a dog, a mouse, a sword, a rocket(!), and my apron! It would be great to know what you think - any constructive criticism?

It looks like you have the bug. These look good. I do like the sword, it is a design I have not used before but might explore  :D

Maybe not use all the 260 for the lower part of the rocket and put a twist in the fold twist off centre to give it more shape at the bottom.
You could try a 160 as well maybe.

I think a 160 would look good actually. The bee bodies are smaller than I imagined. Thanks folks. I made an octopus just now that I'm very happy with!!! He's sat on top of my bird cage at the moment although my bird isn't too happy with him!!!

The sword is really cool, I think it looks better than other designs I've seen but obviously it is a bit weaker than others because of the join. So it's more of something to look at or use as part of a costume rather than something to play with.

I like the octopus, a different style to normal.

No picture, I never make it, it's an 11" round with 4, 260's twisted in half for legs and then attach two eyes.

Ah, right, I just googled, and it came up with that. The one I made is more of characature isn't it? I think I like him better as he's quite compact and cuddly looking!
