BALLOON REVIEW 019 - SITTERS BY BONNIE THE BALLOON LADY EBOOK PDF COLLECTION

Bonnie the Balloon Lady aka Bonnie Davis has many balloon collections available to purchase from the website http://www.balloonjam.com - this particular collection comprises of balloons that are sitting down and costs $15 with instant delivery via email. Let's see what there is here...

CAT

This is a really effective cat made of 260Qs. This cat sits on its own and is very stable. As with all these designs the time to construct probably isn't suitable for line work. The triangular body shape can be used as a foundation to make many more animals and characters.

DOG

A variation on the previous two designs has resulted in a dog. Nothing new with the dog's face but certainly the body design is effective and useful.

LION

This is one of my favourite designs in this collection. This design is neat and compact. The lion's mane in darker brown gives good character. A really nice lion.

CHEETAH

A cheetah made with ivory and white balloons. This animal looks good and requires plenty of artwork for the black patches. I am not sure whether the colour is right for a cheetah but even so I do like it.

Hi Anna

That looks so much better than mine. The goldenrod looks great and I especially like the uninflated black 260Q around the eyes. Cool!

FROG

The first of two amphibian designs. This frog is good, fast to make although the usual pinch twist toes can be a little problematic. This model requires a bit of artwork to bring it to life. This is one frog that sits very well.

ELEPHANT

For me the eyes on this elephant at too small. Perhaps the use of hearts for the ears would increase the cuteness and make for a more rounded design. Still a good elephant though but not one I am likely to make again.

SUMMARY

A very well produced set of PDFS that are easy to follow and include plenty of photos. There are some really good models including the Donkey and the Tiger but some are lacking a little. I love Bonnie's work and some of her other publications are well worth a look.
