Balloon Chit Chat / Re: Challenge 2022

I finally got around to posting Sonic, been so busy with work.
I found the photo of Sonic by Kenneth Kong and was inspired to try and make it.
So we decided to make it our challenge to both create his style of Sonic.

Finally I get time to make the face. I feel faces are difficult for me so was eager to try this.
I used blush hearts for the cheeks.
I used a blush 350 that run through middle making the chin and nose.
But decided it was too long gap so shortened it here.

Well it was my turn to pick the design for the challenge, been a little busy with home schooling,
making balloon designs to earn a few pennies and learning to make stuffing balloons.

So Graham sent me a few pictures over and seemed keen on the face design .....as was I so we went along with this.
The design is from Jason Secoda and Eric Weinstein. I'm sure Graham will add links for them.

This was enjoyable to make...and made me use brain lots to work out techniques.
I'm happy how the poodle turned out. I distorted ears with 160 in 350 and apple twisted the legs.

I made a smaller version with 6 inch quick links

I really fancied making a wreath to do a Christmassy challenge.
I designed this at 4am ha 👀 not intentionally!! But I'm glad it worked.
I used the football (diamond and square) weave David and Graham showed me.
Then added details.
I really love it up on my door 🥰

This is a beautifully designed balloon.
I love Derek Wong's art and this is lovely.
Looks simple until you start twisting 😅
I would make bow larger next time...but I did really
Enjoy doing this and it come together fast 💞

I thought we would try something different for the challenge this time.
Instead of making the same design I chose the theme Halloween and we had to make any design to fit the theme.

Well it did not work out as planned as we both picked the same character from Halloween without knowing.
It was interesting to see the outcome as neither of us saw the others design till we both finished.

I took inspiration from a Buster Balloon design I found.

Here is my spaceman. I wanted to try to get a head with artwork on into a 646 which worked first time.
The body is pretty basic but does the job.

Here is our next challenge, the Spaceman. Graham sent me a few pictures over while we were trying to decide the next challenge and I liked the Spaceman.
Not sure who to credit, I'm sure Graham will let people know.

I love what Twistee makes....always so cute.
And there is so much work in this design....with apple twists and eyes. That it did end up taking a while to make the end result.

I'm happy with the outcome but the ears should be more upright and still not quite as cute as hers 😍

This time it was my challenge to choose the new balloon but after searching the internet nothing inspired me.
I got an unusual job that came through, to create a Koi balloon.
So we decided this would be a good challenge.
