Very nice Tonya, I always struggle with lions. Has anyone got a good one or two balloon lion to share?

Love it tonya! Brilliant!

I really like Tonya's lion - here //http://www.twistedcrittersnmore.com/

I had a quick go at making it ages ago but couldn't quite get it.

Its GGGRRREeaaat

 :lol:

Danny

thanks Danny...that lion on my webpage was one that I saw in Balloon Magic magazine when I first started learning multiple balloons.  I don't remember what issue it was in though.

Graham, here are a couple of different designs for 2 balloon lions, are these something that would work for you?

On the top picture, one lion is made with 260 mane and tail, one is made with a 160 mane and tail.

Tonya, I love those lion's! Do you have instructions for them??

Jordon could we encourage you to have a go at the lion without the instructions and then if you post your effort we can all help with where you maybe going wrong although I reckon you will make a good effort the first time.

The idea being that when making the lion something else may come to you when making it and you could find yourself posting something slightly different to what you were attempting to make in the first place. It will definately help you grow as a twister and were only trying to encourage every one.
Mind you I know how long it takes sometimes to write up the instructions for a model

Tonya, thanks for the lions. Many years back I used to make a really nice two balloon model, I remember showing it to David before we left for a millennium jam but sometimes the old memory banks seem to desert me now and again.

thanks Jordon, I'm glad you like them
I totally agree with Graham, that trying them first will definately help you grow as a twister. And if you try and still can't get it, I would be more than happy to post instructions

ok ok suppose I was being lazy, i'll have a bash 1st LOL  :lol:

here's my version;

How can you get the images bigger? They are all really small on here graham, is it due to the uploader, or the site?

I think it may be your settings?
The lion I've just put on is about 10 cms X 8cms

Very cute lions Tonya!  I like the version you did too Graham.

I have a nice 2 balloon lion, but don't have a pic handy.  Will try and find time latter to make one and post it.  In the mean time, this is my 3 balloon version lioness and 4 balloon lion.

Happy twisting,
Bonnie, The Balloon Lady

very cute Graham, I really like your.  I tried to keep my brown going in a continuous motion instead of breaking it off and adding it on the feet and tail.

Bonnie, I just LOVE your lions.  They are adorable!

hey Jordon, there's a few of us that get on skype and do "web jams".  If you get on skype, we'd love to have you join us.  That goes for anyone else that wants to join in on the fun too.  Sometimes there is only 1 or 2 of us on, but other times there may be 7 or 8 of us on.  It's a great place to get help with anything you might be having troubles with, or if you just want to share ideas with others.  It's pretty fun.

maybe we should start a skype topic so we can share our skype names with each other, so if anyone else wants to join in they can
