Thanks Kevin and a very Happy Christmas to everyone in the balloon world. Get well soon Kev.

Good morning all.  You may not have noticed but Christmas is creeping up on us. Does anybody have any Christmassy models that they can share with us?

Hello

Does anybody have instructions for a good train model/ I have seen Holly Hoopers hat but I would like a freestanding one.

Hi Ryan

I might be  interested in a rechargeable pump if you have one. Poss other stuff as well.

I would be very sad to see the demise of the Forum. here is so much useful information on there and of course it lets you keep in touch with other like minded people.

WOW! This makes me realise just how much of an amateur I am.  These are brilliant.

As a tee-total for more than thirty years, I might find use for this one. Cheers, your very good health sir.

Yes, I'm going.

Although I have not known you for very long I do know that you are a perfect Gentleman and it is a pleasure to know you and the great fraternity of balloon twisters.

Good Morning all

Has anybody got any ideas for a Peppa Pig model. I have a themed event to do so any suggestions would be most welcome

As one who is not too clever with the marker pen I was delighted to find on the Big Bear Head videos by Shonna (for sale on the Sempertex  site above) a good section on artwork. This is really well explained and easy to follow. I love these big balloons they are so versatile.

Can anybody recommend a white marker pen to use on balloons? I have tried the Sharpie but I find them very runny and the balloon colour shows through, even though I have given them a really good shake as directed.

As one who suffers the pains of arthritis in the fingers and hands I am finding the Bear Bodies are really good to work with. I am making some really impressive models fairly quickly without ending up with  very sore hands. If anybody has any tips for working with this condition I would like to hear them, it can be embarrassing when you are making a model for some one when you slip out with an "ouch you bugger, that hurt" it don't go down to well.

Has anybody  got a good  easy Santa that I might copy please?

Good morning

Are there any pictures anywhere of models using the bear body balloons? I would like to give they a try but I would like some idea what I can make with them.

Cheers

David Craner
