I used 160's for the stems and no I didn't have instructions for this...I just knew the basic weaving concepts and tried something different.  The vase was made completely with 160's and the flowers were a combo between 260's and 160's.  Thanks for the compliment.  I really needed the encouragement. 

thank you.  I had some trouble with the rim.   I wasn't quite sure how to do the balloons to form a rim so I winged it.

I found the topic on 25 Balloon Bracelets that was posted by Scott Tripp one of the members here.  I made every single one according per his instructions without any trouble.  I wanted to post a couple pics of some of the bracelets I made after I got the base concept of Scott's...






I just wanted to say thanks to scott for all the help and the creative boost.

Here is a pic of a bouquet I made my grandmother.  First vase I have really made. 

  Ok here is a pic of my first top hat.  Hope you all think it is good.

very awesome.  I am trying my hand at weaving.  that is very neat and clean...it is beautiful and I hope your fiance loved it.

Hi ya Mike...if you like balloons you are in the right place.  I am still new but I have been on the site for a while.  It is an awesome site and there are a lot of talented people here.  Have fun and welcome.

Here ia a pic of a sugar glider so you kind of have an idea....this is our New baby Holly.

Ok... this is my first attempt at making a animal without ANY base instructions.  I needed a balloon shaped like a sugar glider.  I have 6 of them and I am associated with a breeder that does fundraisers.  This is my first design and my first attempt.  If anyone has any ideas on how to improve the design I would appreciate suggestions...thanks all.

   I like it very much.  Nice detail...very precious.

WOOOHOOO!!! That is a good lookin dragon..Nice job.  Never seen one like that...very cute.

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone that has welcomed me.  I have really enjoyed reading all the hellos.   

Please excuse my messed up spelling...I got excited...LOL!!!

Ok...Here goes.  I am a balloon artist.  I have been twisting balloons since I was 13 at fundraisers for Girl Scouts of America.  I have been advancing my skills and I am new to actually be part of the forum but not new to the site.  I have been on here before and I have to say that I am very amazed by a lot of the artists here and all the things that they can teach.  I hope to make lots of friends that are as big a kid at heart as I am because I love balloons, the colors and the face on a child when you make something they love.  I am not good with intros but I hope this is ok.  I hope to quite involved in the forum and with getting to know many of the twisters I have admired until now.  Hope you all have a fabullus day..and it is great to be here...
