Hallo everybody,
I bought two big bags with 6inch geo-blossoms (flower assortment) a few weeks ago.
I used the rose, pink, lilac and green for flowers, elephant, alien ....
But i have no idea what to do with the white ones.

Maybe somebody can give me a tip?????

Greetings

Turn them inside out and use them as an elephants body. Also useful to make a sheep.

I think Tonya made a sheep with 3 white geo's for the body of the model.

Yep, the instructions for it is in one of the Balloon Magic Magazine issues.

I've also seen them used as part of clown faces when they are turned inside out.

If you check out the reviews section and search for balloon magic magazine you will find Tonya's sheep there. It's lovely.

Is suggesting white flowers too obvious?

This is a great clown hat that Ralph Dewey taught at Florida Super Jam 2011.  The cheeks and bottom jaw are a inside out white geo.  The hat base is the red 260 and the extra red 260 that sticks up at the back of the hat base is bent over to make the nose.

Thank you to everyone, for the great tips!
I`ll try out everything when we`ve ended making hay.....

Maybe I shouldn`t ask kids what colour they like, that could be easier.......

I make snails, clowns, animal skeleton heads, with White blossoms.
Also I place every figure I make on a blossom, so I use a lot of white ones for that.
Putting a figure on a blossom makes the blossom into a nice base which people carry around as displays.
This way it works as advertisement for yourself as the people really show your stuff to the rest of the public.

Anna has put a nice ghost with the face made from a White Geo, which I think might be a Patricia Bunnell design? may be of use for you. It's on page 34 of the make something thread,
hoping the link will take you straight there. post44473.html#p44473

Hi !

With a 5" round on top, a blush or mocha 321 underneath, and a 260 wrapped round the middle they can be used for ice creams.

Obviously different colours can make different flavours......but they all taste the same  :D  :D  :D

This is a Buster Balloon design
Kind regards

Sorry, don't remember if the ghost I posted on the Competitions thread is by Patricia Burmell (may be), anyway as for what to do with geo blossoms, here are some links to you tube videos

Besides, Tonya published a nice CD, named Tonya's blossom bodies that you can buy on line

http://www.balloonjam.com/tonya/

And this is a dragoon made with two geo blossoms I made sometime ago but, again to my shame, I don't remember where I saw it and who is it's author (obviously the original was much better, mine is only a draft)

Hope having been of some help.

PS -  Please give a try to the make something competition

Bye :D

Hi Anna, thanks for posting your little dragon (it looks great)...that was the first one I made with the blossoms and kind of started the blossom body concept for the DVD.  :-) Thanks for the plug.. :lol:

I love the ghost of Patricia's...I'm so glad you made that for the competition thread as I had completely forgotten about that one and Halloween will be here before we know it.

Love the ice cream also Kevin!!

Oh yeah...I forgot about these also...

Here is my version of Magic Ludovic's Chicken
