Welcome dear room mate, I also liked the dress you made at diamond jam    Have fun here.

Can you give us a clue to what size that is Roger? It looks nice to me.

The forum is only as good as the members that post on it and we seem to be going through a lull at the moment even though we have the best Google ranking since the forum was set up. It seems that the more popular the forum is the least posts are put up.
So we are trying to encourage everyone to post a little and share there experiences etc, it's all about give and take as if there are too many people that just keep taking all the time then those that give generally give less and then there is less to take, so please try and join in on the forum with suggestions, ideas, pictures, problems you may be having with making a sculpture as there are plenty on here that are only to happy to help out.
You can also advertise for free on the forum at the moment and if anyone has any balloon related news then I'm always looking for something new to freshen up the news page and more than happy to give you and an event a plug, new DVD etc etc so any news please pass it on.
If you see any balloon related items on youtube or anywhere else on the internet please either post it on the forum or send me the link as everything helps to keep the forum ticking over and people coming back to see what else has been posted.
We still have hundreds that look at the forum and use the site but have never posted so please stop lurking and join in with your balloon community, we are all pretty friendly, honest.

This sounds like a sad plea for help but I'm very passionate about our art and looking to take it forward in the best way that we can so that it gets the recognition that it so rightly deserves and with your help I think we can do this and all benefit from the knock on effects.

Hi Marc, just replied to your PM to myself.
I have been very busy lately what with being away in Vegas for two weeks and then having to catch up with over 500 emails upon my return. I have two magic conventions to go to this month as well promoting Sempertex and then at the end of the month I'm off to China for 10 days performing my balloon magic act.
I will try and post asap but it does take me usually around 4/5 hours to write up the instructions with pictures etc and post onto the forum.

Could you have ago at making the model from the pictures and post your effort as I'm sure this would encourage others and some of the more experienced twisters on the forum will guide you if you are having any problems as were all more than happy to help  

This may be of some use to anyone trying to increase there website profile, it talks about SEO and blogging. The link will only be active for two weeks so check it out asap.

A few models made by various artistes from around the world, I helped to make one of them.

Gerry Luff sent me over this picture and I've not seen these before;

Perhaps we could get a few variations as well  

The glasses add to it  

Hi all. Im looking for two excellent twisters for Sunday 4th Oct between 3 and 4 for an event in Cardiff and Birmingham.
Anyone interested then please let me know and the money is very good  

So confirmed on the trip to date are;

Graham, Danny, Thelma, Dave, Natalie, Tony and now Kate

My guesstimate is that he did this the same way as we do the flowers and when he re inflated the large balloon he put it onto a tap and filled with water.

For some reason I have my doubts that this is one that I came up with, if that is the case apologies to whoever.
It may also be a variation on a theme, not 100% sure.
I was looking through my picture files and found this one for May this year.

I think the two blue pinch twists above the front tyre may look better in black as it would add to the front tyre effect and complete the black circle, just a thought.

I booked a hotel for next Tuesday in Hemel and now we don't require it so if anyone would like to make use of this your more than welcome, just get in touch and I'll pass on the details.
