Ha, no Graham, just helping someone out who had a question about gifts for swimming teachers on face book, though my dad was always renowned for his speedos. I did send a pic to Tom Daley too on Twitter as it could look like him?

We all have our cross to bear, but some of us need more wood than others!

Can't wait to try out other designs.
How much do you think I should charge for wrapping not the bottle included?

That is a good question Alison. I do think target market will matter here (some will pay more if it costs more!)
Personally,  I would charge £4 to £10 depending on the complexity. In terms of balloon use, it tends to be one 646 (possibly two) and scraps or up to 4 other balloons (260 or 160).
Cost to us is therefore about 60 - 70p plus time (up to half an hour)
Some might charge more than I would but I love making them.

I've been puzzling over making faces for people and these characters are great. I wonder if there's a good place to learn faces like these? Most others I've seen are more involved with lots of balloons etc

Haha, brilliant. Is that DVD available in the UK anywhere or is it only from his website?

This is the video I used for making my first faces. Hope it helps http://youtu.be/_DsEW4GGvDo

For the wine bottle faces, I use a different method. I will perhaps do some sort of photo tutorial for balloon chat

They are really sweet little characters. I directed a few people to your YouTube video.
Looking forward to seeing how to make these; it's probably so simple I'll kick myself! I'm just about getting to grips with things, but this one outfoxed me!

Little help? I made this a number of years ago, and I can't for the life of me remember how to make the face of the dog. Can anyone help?

It looks like two small pinch twists, two 4 finger bubbles for top of
mouth and a loop twist for lower mouth. Could you not get some
balloon in hand and try to twist the bubbles as you see them?

Guessing the ears are just two 6 finger fold twists.
