:roll: Please can you help?  I need to make some of these sleeping baby balloons.  I cannot find it on you tube so am having to work it out for myself.  I'm assuming the base are 5" and the head is a qualatex blush 11".  I am having real trouble doing the dummy.  I can't get the small balloon onto the white one.  Please can anyone help??? thank you so much  :D

G L Admin, I will be removing this picture in the morning, is it possible to put a link up to where you got it from?

Thanks.

I'm no expert so only guessing as I stick to twisting....

I would guess that the base was 11" under-inflated (maybe 9" then 8/7/6) and the head a 24" or possibly a 3' round under-inflated.

Dummy has been made with a marriage twist and then either stuck on or attached with a side-wall bubble.


Just my 2p, hopefully someone else might have some more info

How about trying the one pip showed at her workshop day in Sutton, this is the link to view,

There are I think 7 pages to view but the baby in the carrier is really nice.

I would say the two bottom rows are 5" balloons and the top two 4 or 4.5" with 11" head.
The dummy is a cross between a tulip and a marriage twist.

It would work the way Woblee has mentioned as well though, with not so much pressure on the balloons.

I have a couple of days coming up, Care & Share day Exeter 11th May
and Sutton 22nd June which is a basic balloon modelling day.

I have done a similiar design before- but with a bottle instead of a dummy. I used all 5" rounds I think- just different sizes
