Even without looking at the review I'm taking a chance and thinking it will be excellent as when I went to one of the American conventions Jeanine's lecture had the most useful and usable sculptures of the whole week. Better go and read the review now to find out.

Yet another well written review, Darren.

I've read all of the reviews you've posted so far, and it really is helpful to hear from someone who has tried the models, seen them 'in the flesh' and can give an honest appraisal of whether they work or not.  I realise that everyone who makes a DVD is trying to sell it, obviously, but given that almost everyone makes claims that 'these models will instantly be added to your repartee', often it's hard to tell before buying the DVD if they are suitable for line work, table work, corporate work etc etc.

Your reviews definitely seem balanced (you're not scared to say where you don't think something works, as well as where it does) and it is really useful to get a summary of the 'use' of the models (line, table etc).

I really enjoy reading them, they do influence what I would buy, and I hope you keep them coming.

Many thanks

--Neil

Hi Darren,

All I can do is echo Neil's comments on how practical and usefull your reviews are    

Thank you so much indeed for the time and effort that you have put in for our behalf.

I can only echo what everyone else has said - very useful and honest reviews, it's good to have an independent view on skill level and usability, keep them coming

We have used these bracelets over and over and over again.  Jeanine's CD's are among some of our favorite and we have referred back to them as recently as last night.....(I just twisted all of these as pre-mades for a gig to reacquaint myself with those that I forgot.)  I agree with the reviewer.... they are awesome and worth the investment.

Liking your reviews also - sometimes I don't always have time to go through all the dvds and pdfs I buy so is good to read them in case there is something I have missed

cheers mate

This collection of PDFs is released by Jeanine Von  Essen and comprises of fourteen wearable bracelets. All the items are fairly quick and easy to make yet produce effective and cute designs. The instructions come supplied on a CD of individual PDFs. Each design is thoroughly explained with excellent use of photos and balloon measurements resulting in a perfect recreation of each model. Whilst these are a little too time consuming for line work, they are ideal for restaurants or corporate events where you can spend a little more time interacting with the customers. These PDFs are suitable for people with basic balloon skills and who have a batch of 160s on hand and wondering what to do with them.

The price of $30 offers reasonable value for money and the PDFs are available from http://www.heyballoonlady.com

FROG

A cute, simple and effective frog. The artwork helps to add character and gives it a cartoon feel. This is one of
my favourite designs from this collection. Of course all these designs can be mounted onto hair bands as an alternative to bracelets.

PENGUIN

The penguin uses a multi-colour flower base which contrasts well with the body. The un-inflated nose balloon is usual and adds some nice animation.

CHICKEN

The chicken is easy to make and has some nice colour contrasts of the orange and red.

GOLDFISH

The goldfish design is very popular and it is the clear bubbles that add a unique finishing touch.

BUTTERFLY

The butterfly is a popular balloon with the girls and the antennae look fantastic when they wobble out. Even better when mounted on a headband.

SKUNK

This skunk is an interesting design as the tail protrudes from the main flower offering another dimension to the model.

MOUSE

The mouse design is very clever and extremely popular as the usual flower base is replaced with a piece of cheese. The mouse itself has a lovely facial shape.
