The nose is a 2 finger bubble tied not too tight,
if you tie it tightly it will look like a pinch twist and you need a more rounded shape.

Then add a little artwork.

With the four 4 finger bubbles for the top section of the head the ears sit nicely between these so that they stay in place.

If you do make the sausage dog then please post it here for us to see...............

That would be nice, hope it is of help to some of you.

Thanks for the instructions, Graham. I made this one, winging it from the photos you posted on Facebook.

This is a neat design. You need to be fairly exact with the nose and body and I should have done the eyes a bit bigger to avoid the noticeable gap at the top.
I also had no mocha 160 but I don't think the design suffered.
Thanks Graham

Thanks for posting Jeff and Stuart.

On the other thread Stuart I did the mouth and muzzle in a 260 and also the feet/legs in 260.
This is the link to the variations, sausage-dog-t10479.html

I actually like the muzzle this size. I do not think I would though.

my go, thank you Graham

My effort, I ended up with the pinch twist underneath the eyes as the head was too low on mine.

Heres my attempt. I was way off with the dimensions, he's very top heavy haha

Here are my four.... 2 look a bit more realistic than the other 2!!

Have you got the instructions for the front two, they look pretty realistic to me  

Only two more days to enter the April competition, we will be picking a winner on Sunday so be quick if
you would like to enter to win a balloon modelling DVD.

My first one following on here!

I didn't have many (well, any) of the correct balloons on me today so improvised somewhat, but who doesn't love a blue and yellow dog?! All 260 size so somewhat distorted but I have named him SuperDog and will be working on his cape and underpants later.

Fairy love and sparkles!

The draw is a little late this month, it should have been yesterday but I was away working at the Bristol Day of Magic.

Will try to get this sorted and announce the winner later today. Thanks to all that entered.

This months winner out of the hat is Zoo Zoo.

Off to see if I can find the list of DVD's available.
I have a few books though if you would prefer, Addl Somekh's Balloon Hat Book is fab.
