At the David Grist Memorial Lecture, Dennis showed us have to make a brilliant rabbit. I went to a wedding this evening and decided to make it using 350s instead of 260s. It took more balloons but I thought it looked great. It got so many positive comments tonight.

Hi,

To be a member of TBAG you don't need to attend the lectures in order to receive the DVDs. With the UK/Euro rate the way it is, three lecture DVDs will be very cheap for you compared to other balloon DVDs on the market. It is also fair to say that the content of the first two lectures is superb. Have a chat with Graham I am sure he can work something out for you.

Failing that I am sure I heard that Dennis will be producing a new DVD sometime soon so maybe the rabbit design will be on that. Why not email him to check.

If it was my model I would happily write up instructions with photos but I have to respect the creator (I know you weren't asking me to do this)

Thanks for your comments.

I think you will need to at least join for the whole year. I believe these DVDs are exclusive to club members only and individual DVDs are not available for sale. Sorry if I confused you. I was suggesting you joined as a regular member in order to get the DVDs throughout the year even though you can't physically attend lectures.

@nippy99 : Thank you for your answer.No, because I can't visit the lectures i don't become a member.No problem.I like the bunny you twisted and thought having a dvd about it would be no problem.But I understand that of course.

Yes it would be £99 to join the club but you would get three DVD's with over 12 hours of balloon instructions on so a good value for money price.
If you joined you may then decide to come along to a two day event and meet everyone.

@Graham : Thank you for your answer ! If I would live in the UK, I would do that, but I am from germany, so I don't want.

Can you make a exception for me and sell me only one dvd first ?! Maybe I can think about the membership then !?

If you can't do that, I will accept it of course.

No we did have this discussion on  another thread, to get any of the DVD's you have to be a member of the club as the lecturer is informed the DVD will only go out to members and at just £33 a DVD with 4 hours of instructions we think is excellent value for money already.

I changed the feet on the rabbit I made from the memorial lecture that Dennis showed, possibly a little quicker or I could not get on with the single foot and loop.
It still used only four balloons, I will have a go at super sizing Nippy as to give a 3/4 yr old a balloon bigger than they are is a funny situation.

I am still getting a lot of mileage with Dennis' rabbit (thanks Dennis) - I keep making it so I don't forget how to make it. I am staying away at the moment with my family in Stratford Upon Avon. Spent the afternoon at the Royal Shakespeare Company watching Macbeth (and yes I managed to stay awake!).

I made this rabbit for the receptionist at the hotel where we are staying for suggesting we moved to a better room (not that there was anything wrong with the one we were in). She loved it and it has been pride of place on the front desk. I still can't believe just how powerful balloons can be and how many freebies you can get.

Hi, it's a really great bunny you did !

Here's the one I did during the Millenium Jam last year :



There are some common points but your bunny seems to be really quicker so I think I'll have a try to it because it is really effective and I did sweat too much making mine :)

Thanks for the share  8-)

I also reworked this balloon using 160Qs only - not a great photo but hopefully you get an idea of size. Uses less balloons than the 260 version. I like it.
