Title: Green Dogs for Debs
Post by: Graham Lee on February 10, 2018, 03:55:42 PM
If anyone is following along on Balloon Twister Central a fellow balloon artiste
has stage 4 cancer and people are posting green dogs for Deborah Fellman.

If you look at my avatar on facebook it is the geo dog that I made up in green.

Well for a change I have just made a motorbike and added the tank and mud
guards in green and will just go and post it now onto facebook.

I started off with the bike I made at Twist & Shout a few weeks back.
Then went to version one here.

I then changed the petrol tank to green, I have been informed that for bikers
green is an unlucky colour so perhaps we will call mine lime  ;)

As soon as I posted picture 3 of the bike I did not like it.
It was too high off the ground and the engine section was not right.

I added some more but was still not happy, the kick stand was way too long.

I had a go at version four now, this one sits nicer.
