Was not sure what to call this thread, anyway I was having a play with the female form, nice way to spend an afternoon  ;)

I twisted the body way too off centre for the first attempt, she was well falling over...............oops!

I had to add some weight to get her to stand upright.

Ages ago Sabina showed a use of 321s to make a nice lady shape. I have used this for a few brides, and also for Elvira, "Mistress of the Dark" which I made for a comic-book store. It makes a really slimline elegant shape.

The bear heads can also be used this way. Ken Stillman makes a nice Betty Boop using them. The ears make the attachment points for the arms and the chest. I made this Dolly Parton using a bear head, but I may have exaggerated her ample charms a bit  :shock:  :shock:

You beat me to it Kevin, I also made the 321 version yesterday. I posted it onto the facebook page new 52 that I'm a member.
I did mention that I would like to thank all the people that have influenced me over the years.
I mention Patricia and Sabina as I do remember a 321 lady from Sabina and I think a 646 tulip/apple twisted skirt from Patricia.

This is what I made yesterday and was going to post today,
I try to drip feed my pictures here on balloonchat to try and keep it ticking over.

I made Betty boo a while ago with no neck connection point, so was having a play yesterday and Friday with a similar idea.
The hair into the shoulders kept the head nice and secure in place.

So I made the 260 dress one first. The arms seem a little too thick with the 160 legs.
It only used 3 and a half balloons, the hair attached to the bottom of the dress kept the head in place.

Yes this is quite clever Graham, takes the squareness of the regular shoulders away, i like how it ties into the neck!! ;)

The rest of the designs I made a couple of days ago. I went back to the traditional neck connection with the first picture.
