We have been playing with Geo's lately and I had an idea today, the dress from a Geo. Now I'm assuming this must have been done before?
The fussy one was the first one made, the weaved bottom of the dress may look better with a larger weave, as I keep saying........only one way to find out!

Had a go at my own version Graham. I added 5 x 160 around the geos. I then continued with groups of 5 bubbles in a 350 and 260 around a 260 core that goes bottom to top of the sculpture.

I really need to learn how to do better head and in particular hair. I think it is the weakest aspect of most of my figures. Still, I like the dress (bit heavy on the number of balloons but nice looking)

I made about five of these designs tonight and yes this is uncanny I also put the 160 around the geo plus a few other things.
I was putting the pictures up in instalments to space things out a little so I will post them tomorrow.

Love this idea. Must also be cheaper to use one geo per layer than four rounds.

I love this idea so I had a go.  Instead of offsetting the geos I had them lined up straight and gaged a bigger lip to the geo lips to make a feature go them instead of hiding them at the back. I didn't add any other balloons to the dress except at the bottom to keep the geos tight. Also I blew the top one up normally, the second had a little tube inside so it blew up wider and the third had a 260 balloon pump shoved inside the hole to make it inflate even wider. That was a tip from Colin Myles. Interesting that the wide the hole the wider the geo. Useful too.

I like the style of that one Thelma, looks 60's'ish. A few more from last night.

I still have more to post with this idea, I try to pace the posts though.

I have a terrible time with anything but basic hair.  Anyone have some suggestions for good resources for hair design?
