That final version with the gold visor is brilliant

I struggled to get a good picture with so much reflection from the 7" chrome silver balloon.
We did try a few different things and also getting the picture in different rooms so the light was coming from different angles.
I also added a little artwork to the design.
Love this Graham

A different idea, I made the nose fold twist larger to fit a 160.
I like it

A variation on a theme, not sure about the mouth.
Agreed Graham, perhaps a tiny bubble in the end of a 160 tied in as a tongue?

I used to make a lot of Lions as my dad is involved with the Lions Charity. I have also got back into making tutorials on YouTube which I am enjoying doing. I have done some very basic tutorials and designs for those who are beyond the very basics.

Another Rabbit I tried, with those teeth does not look like a rabbit to me.
Perhaps the teeth are the basis for a beaver?

260 version. Not happy with the face but it will do I guess

Been a while since I did one of these. Always struggle getting a head that works, especially with a hat.
Here is a 260 version using my body design (that bits easy).

I like these. I am assuming a 350 for the head and arms. It's the art work that always let's me down on faces. They never look quite right.

Got my order today. Thank you Graham and Lyn. I forgot you included the balloons for model of the month. Here is my effort. The two initial pinch twists get some abuse as there is quite a lot going on at this point by the end. Great fun. Thank you.

So, getting back to balloons and using old stock. Black in particular does not age well and is then more prone to popping. I do like the chunky version a 350 gives compared to the 260. Made the beak a bit long on this occasion.

Welcome / Am I back?

I do hope everyone is well.
It has been quite some time since I have checked in and nearly as long since I have done any real twisting. I have a load of old and less than robust stock and hoping to start up again. This for me is a hobby and not a job - a form of relaxation/therapy.  I shall keep checking in and will be putting an order in at some point Graham.

It has been a long time since I have done balloons but my wife asked me to do something for her school who are having a pirate themed day. I still have a a couple of Brenion masks to make and will be making swords with the children on the day.
Using up stock.

I hope so Graham. Thank you again. I love balloons but need to refocus for the time being
