Found it! It was Tony Twist's Space Invader!

No, it wasn't long after balloon chat was launched, so we're talking last year. I remember it was quite a big model with silver curls at the back of the spaceship.

A while ago someone posted up a picture of an alien in a spaceship he'd made while on a slow job. It looked fantastic and I'd really like to attempt it. I've searched for 'Alien' and 'spaceship' but can't seem to find it.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

I thought for a minute there I was on the wrong forum!

I found the pink ones suffer most in the heat - non-stop popping, no matter how careful I am.

An very interesting way of making the teddy bear as well. Will have to bookmark this site.

Thanks

Will there be one at Mildenhall again this year Graham?

No, because Busking bags are so much more interesting!

I did one macaw (thanks Twistina) and three parrots for a 'pirate pub crawl' on Friday for a girl at work. They all dressed up as pirates and my parrots lasted most of the night.

She wanted them to sit on shoulders so I had to work out slightly different feet for them. I was quite pleased with the result. I'll see if I can recreate one and post it up (or is this thread for pirates only?)

Great, have just ordered the PDF version! Just don't tell the other half as it's his Paypal account that I've used!

Thanks

Liz

I can do a one-balloon parrot, but wondered if anyone had any pics/instructions for a multicoloured one. A girl at work has asked me if I can make 3 for a pirate themed night out and she'd like to put one on her shoulder.

Thanks

Liz

I recognise that hat! I was face painting there and boy, was it mad! Talk about a crush!

Quote from: "MACPUMP"It is possible that the one you where using was damaged or something.  What I'm saying is that all the new ones come with the newley designed valve assembly. The Mini Mac Lite 09 is now availble.  http://www.macpump.org

Do you ship to the UK, MAC?

Liz

Yes, you start off with a bag of mixed and then you discover the bubblegum pink - it's not just facepaints that are addictive!

Definitely get to one of Graham's Care and Share days if you can.

Liz

That's a real shame that you've been treated like this. You should come and try Cambridge - we're well known for buskers and it would be lovely to see some talented twisters try their luck entertaining the crowds on a Saturday.

With half term here now it's really busy.
