It was then onto food as the theme for the day, I went with the classic fruit bowl.

The next theme up was Something from a Book. It did take me a while to think of what to make,
but I don't think I have ever tried to make Winnie The Pooh.
It is a difficult shape to try and re-create.

I made the large design for the challenge of the day but then after wanted
to see if I could make a more real world line work design.
I have started a separate thread for that and how we tried quite a few
face and body designs till we ended up with something that
I was reasonably happy with.

The next theme was one of my favourite things.

Now I did not read the blurb on this and thought it was your favourite balloon design, oops.
Best I copy Rob's blurb and you can see how I went wrong,

Morning everyone, So today we have 'One Of My Favourite Things',
now this is NOT one my MY favourite things, and its not something
from the song 'My Favourite Things'. What you need to make is one
of YOUR favourite thing, something non balloon related. Maybe a
hobby of yours? or something you like to eat? or something you
like from the TV or Cinema?, maybe a favourite childhood toy?
or that bottle of antibacterial hand gel you cling to so much?
So the point of these challenges is for you to try something
new and make something different to what you would
normally do. Please don't upload old photos of things
you have already made elsewhere, why not have a go
as something you've not done before?

I posted the Owl as I made a video tutorial to post onto the balloon
artistes guild facebook page to help promote the club.
This is the link if you'd like to make the design,

It was then onto something from A BAG Day, Balloon Artistes Guild.
I made a stick as Dan who attends the days always enters a stick.
Mine was more like a branch by the time I finished it  ;D

The next theme was a positive message, I made the puffed heart with NHS sign.
I think getting the NHS to sit correctly took as long as making the heart.
I called this "Not Everything is Black and White"

I also made my very first Boomerang video with the design.

My design for the day was a Paramedic, for all those accidents that occur in the garden.

The next theme for the challenge was Halloween. And I had just made the Bat for Earth day.
I went with the clown from IT and a mad Pug. These were the two designs that Danielle
and Sally made and I did a variation on them and put together.
