First attempt.

Ok....so here's my first attempt. It's a Flamingo in case you can't tell. My husband asked if i was twisting pig intestines.

it's cute

you can turn the feet to face the right direction and I might even add some big, white eyeballs to that one.

Oh yes. Take a 5" round and blow it up just a bit. Twist it in half and add to the top of the head. This is a super simple trick that adds lots of pizazz.

Don't forget the sharpie eyeballs!

he's got eyes, they are orange..lol. white would be much better. I did a frog, butterfly, heart and a flower. I might just offer flowers and swords at myfirst few events. Theylook adorable when they are done. and i have them memorized. that seems to be the hardest part. memorizing each one!!

is that an orange balloon? It looks too much like the pink. what balloons are you using anyway? I find the clear ones like that pop a lot more than the opaque colours.

It's not so bad remembering them after a while... all you have to remember is which end you start from on each of them and it just comes back to you. My problem right now is that I've been focusing on my face painting so much that I haven't been pushing myself with the balloons. I keep meaning to start working on a dolphin and dinosaur balloon since I've had some requests for them.

i didnt know if i wanted to do balloons or not so i went to michaels and bought really cheap awful balloons. now that i love it, i'm going to get the good ones.
