A client has requested a peppa pig design for her child's birthday party.

In the last half hour i have been coming up with a few ideas and this is what i got... Nothing groundbreaking but something that kinds resembles peppa.
The artwork really lets me down

Any tips on the artwork? (I can never get it right unless i am copying from another balloonists photo veerrryyyy slloowwlllyyyyy.....

I believe that is mr bomas yoshi made from 350's. you can find his tutorial on his youtube channel.

I recently got a couple ( bit more than a couple) of different types of prints.

Zombie
Spiderman
Spider eyes
Hulk
Captain america
Thor
Tiger
Zebra
Leopard
Gold leopard? (Part of the safari assortment)
Aliens
Smiley faces (not yellow, different colours)
Ladybug
Monster eyes


Now most of them i know how to use.
Zombie, for, well, a zombie (got lots of inspiration from the balloon blast video show and busters itwist episode)

Spiderman and hulk for cody Williams super hero hats

Spider eyes for a simple red back spider.

Tiger for the body of andrew mcdonalds little tiger (ballon magic 59)

Aliens for ken stillman hat, out of the world hat.. .etc

Ladybugs for ladybug bracelet (buster balloon)

Monster eyes for drooling mutant hats etc

But i don't have any idea how to use the thor, captain america, zebra, leopard and smiley faces.

If anyone has any pictures or youtube links that use them it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jake

I received some 160's in the mail yesterday so i can finally make this cute little ducky

I (like others above) had trouble feeding the yellow 169 through the cheeks. On my first attempt it popped and the second attempt it took almost 10 minutes.

I didn't have any agates so i put it on a half water filled geo

For some reason when i was done the design was upside down, i must have made a mistake somewhere along the way (i admit, i accidentally flipped my photo and i didn't know how to un-rotate it)

I too am a subscriber, keep up the great work! Especially loveyoshi and the weiner dog

I was on my ipad at time of posting, so i must have posted the mobile link.... Not too worry, lynnaes link works fine. It is an awesome dog!

I made dylans dog for the first time last weekend. I dont have a picture with me right now, but his tutorial youtube video is below. The design is as quick as my old 3 balloon dog, but bigger and way more awesome. I tried it at my restaurant and got tips from 3 people! 2 of which didnt even know the person who recieved the balloon! It uses 4-9 balloons depending on how amazing you want it to look. I reccomend at lest adding the eyes and tongue.

Happy birthday balloon chat!!!!

My birthday is today aswell.... Hope i get mad hatz wild wearables!!!!

Did someone give it a plug on another website?

Most of the bigger balloon stores, such as tmyers, larocks, balloon merchant, comtinental sales and maybe grahams store shoul stock the 3 foot rounds

Heres a design i do

As you can see, after making a circle around the head, rather than attaching the remaining balloon to the opposite side (180 degrees away) of the balloon, i attach it about 1/5 of the way around the balloon. The keeps the hat more stable and it makes more  of a leg shape. You can them attach you body to the top of the legs.

Love the artwork!

I dont know if it is the same in uk/usa, but in australia easter this year is march 31.

I am struggling to think of any easter designs other than an easter bunny and easter eggs. Does anyone have any ideas (or even better, tutorials) on easter sculptres?

Christmas is easy, with so many mascots, but i am finding easter quite tricky.

Thanks in advance,

Jake
