Excellent job - your customer will love them. I frequently spend 1-2 hours preparing balloons for each event I go to and it really does pay back.

Well done

Looking good, the snail looks interesting.

Really cool, love em!!

they look great...I'm sure they will love them.

Have no fear !! They will love them I do!!

Love the snail....can you please post a tutorial?

I know sometimes how long it takes to put instructions up, perhaps Sonia has a close up picture Alysia and then you could try to make it from that, you will progress so much more with the balloons by attempting to make the model as with when it goes wrong you learn how to adapt to different situations, if you get stuck post a picture and we are all here to help.

Hi there Alysia

The snail was made up as I went along.  The Head and neck are based on the snail by Shirley Ray on the TBAG video I received from Graham.  When I got to the shell I couldn't remember the next set of instructions so I kinda just made it up as I went along which is why if you look the snails are slightly different. Unfortunately I don't have a close up of the snail - I normally do take close ups but I simply ran out of time.

I have just done a google and there are a couple of snails on you tube - If I am stuck I usually take the bits I like from one model and then combine it with other parts on other models to come up with something at the end LOL  The Shell on this is very similar to the one on you tube below - you just need to adapt the neck and head

Here is one snail on you tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3csO3oZ_HAU

(Graham - I hope it is okay for me to post a link to a video on here??? Never sure if I'm being naughty LOL but its never intentional!!!)

Take care
Sonia

Okay....I tried this & got this. Couldn't quite figure out the bottom part

I made a couple of snails that may be similar to what Sonia did in the above picture,

I love these they are soo cute!

I took a couple of pictures from underneath incase you wanted to attempt this one, hope it helps?

I forgot to mention that we did have a Snail on the model of the month a while back with full instructions, this is the link,
