Balloon twisting is a blast for sure, but be sure to check into the other balloon types - don't limit yourself to only 260s.
160's are easier to twist imo - they make smaller sculptures (obviously) and aren't as in demand (because the general public pretty much only sees 260s) - but they're a great learning tool.
Also, it's easier to get into multi-balloon sculptures using a combo of 260s and 160s. A lot to take in I guess, since you're just starting out - but you'll be twisting killer toons in no time.
