Okay, Balloon-Twisting Masters:

I'm reporting on my progress. You will be happy to know that I've practiced my balloon-twisting three times this week. Yesterday I made some pretty cool things -- lobster, mermaid, and Bugs Bunny. Okay, I know these are not advanced for you, but in my simple world full of balloon bunnies and wiener dogs, believe me, this is advanced!

Thanks for your continuing encouragement.

That sounds great Pickles. I'll bet you get lots of requests for lobsters living in Maine... Oh, well, Wisconsin... You can tell the kids they are cows with claws. That's it they are WereCows, during the light of the full moon they change into lobsters and swim in the lakes and streams of your fair state.

All funnin' aside would you be so kind as to post pictures? I'm just glad to see you working at your balloons. Is there anything that you have been asked for that you would particularly like to learn? Or is there anything you would like to wow the crowd with?

Well, the porcupine request was the craziest one I've ever received, but we've already addressed that.

I'd like to see the hitchhiker body that you guys said I should make to accompany the clown head. I can't make anything without an picture or illustration.

I will try to learn how to post pictures. Warning: you probably won't be that impressed, but it's definitely progress for me.

Here is a picture from Balloon HQ - Educating the World About Balloons and Balloon Art It was posted less than a week ago so if you hurry you should be able to scan through the pics and see it (as well as a few other versions) if not search for either the number or the maker's name.

Here are my "masterpieces." lol -- on second thought, please don't laugh!

(Special thanks to my 11-year-old for helping figure out how to post images.)

Those are very good Pickles.

Pickles - Go to Balloonhq.com click on the link to the balloon pictures and then in the upper right hand side of the screen it says search by picture number, enter 38248 and it should take you right to the picture. I tried it just now.
