Still looking for a nice butterfly for the real world, this one on a hat might do it?

I usually mention that real butterflies have really long tongues before finishing this one. Gets lots of "oohs" from grown-ups.
Far from the most technical of balloons, but speed and sculptural effect create a lot of the magic

Graham, I have the perfect line Butterfly. If you practice, (which im sure your speed is more than up to par) you should have no problem cranking them out in a line. 4-5 Balloons pending on how detailed you want to go. Always...and I mean ALWAYS gets ooohs and ahhhhs. Ill post pics in a little while

Here are the pictures for my line Butterfly along with the "Ingredients" as I like to call them.

Well as I was looking through my thousands of pictures over the past few days I found a few things that inspired me,
another butterfly, there is a small spacer bubble so the wings sit slightly back from the body.

Graham his little face is cute as anything. If butterfly's had discernible faces I think they would all look like this.

This is the butterfly I make out and about, either this or sometimes
I do make the child into the butterfly with large wings and antenna.

Now I always make the face and body in blush but really a butterfly is black so had a play.

A couple more butterflies. Possibly more line work and real world.

I changed the wings around on the Caribbean Blue.

I had a go at Rob Driscoll's butterfly that he made on his Facebook live a couple of weeks back now.
The wings were two balloons on mine as I made the lower wings a little larger.
The tutorial will be taken down soon so be quick to view if you wanted to try and make it.

I then changed the butterfly a little, and the wings went back to being just one balloon.
