Tip hat Behold, Our First Original Sculpture!

I give to you....(drumroll)



Thing 1 and Thing 2 from Dr. Seuss's Cat in the Hat.

Eddie created these himself, and I twisted them for him. This is Eddie modeling his creations.

Sassafras and I are very proud of him!

You can't beat Dr Suess for inspiration. Nifty enough that you have a generation of balloon twisting following you.

Magorium was a great movie by the way - Nice product placement!

The faces need MAJOR work to get them to look right, but I was pretty pleased with it for an off the cuff idea.
A big thanks goes to Giggles,AKA, Eddie. It was all his idea, I can't claim to have figured out how to twist it. He told me how to do it. I did have to figure out the hair though.

You'll find very few balloons that couldn't use some work, but it's a good first attempt at an original sculpture. It's always exciting when people twist outside of all of the "how to" balloon books on the market. Well done to all involved...

Looks to me like I have a new sculpture for the restaurant Thursday evening. Do I need to sign a contract of some sort for royalty payments? Is that one Big Mac and two ice cream cones?

Great Job Eddie! I like the way you finished the hair Scruff, good thinking.

I like it. I definitely need to fit some balloon twisting into my schedule at Moose Camp.

I love it! Overall it's quite neat and chaotic at the same time. Seuss would be proud
