In all the years I've been balloon modelling I have never made a reasonable looking Pooh bear. Until now, I think. Please let me know in all honesty what you all think. Do I need to go back to the drawing board or can I stick with this until I get the speed up? At this one took 8 minutes to make and is 5 balloons plus some end bits.

Hello Geoffrey,   It is not one I have ever been comfortable with and would not like to say, though I think that the ears need to be a bit more towards the top of the head rather than at the side.

here is the best pooh I have seen:

You also might want to vary balloon sizes, rather than using flat weaves. Like a 350 for the shirt?

You are so right Mark... Patrick's bear is the best!  The link you provided doesn't work though.  Maybe this one will: http://www.balloonhq.com/photos/db/comp ... p?id=55476
