Thanks for picking me as the winner on that round of snap Lisa. Well here goes my attempt at a three balloon monster. :oops:. I've taken ideas from a Pikachu model and a pumpkin face to make a demon. I used 1x red 260 and 2x red 160s plus yellow and black 160 scraps (I hope this is allowed) I've only been twisting since May so it was a challenge to come up with an original design in such a short space of time. I really hope it's ok.

Hallo,
here is my three balloons ghost.
First version: with a chain (the chain is too short using one 160 split in two halves)
Second version. with a spider (cobweb thread and spider's legs too short - using the leftovers from the spider's body and the ghost's arms...)

160 around the head, down the back and to make the tail/handle.
260 for body and wings.
6" heart for head/ears/body.

I leave the full 160 coming off the back so the kids can make the batter flutter.

Hi all.

It was a tough one to pick a winner. Firstly thanks to all who took part. The winner has been chosen for the best balloon "monster".

The winner is ......Phoenix (Kevin).

I think the way you put the 3 balloons together was very well done. I will announce a new game/competition later this week and you will start it off.

Regards!

WOW...I really was not expecting that, I was just messing around waiting for my supper to microwave  :o

There are some great designs there, I would love to use the bat idea Sean if I may.

For those interested, the mouth was a 3 bubble roll through

The body started at one arm, a small pinchtwist, then threaded down through the back red section. 2 pinchtwists for feet, then back up, & twisted into the top pinchtwist, and forming the other arm.

The white was tied to the corner of the mouth, and a chain of bubbles made for teeth, then locked into the other corner of the mouth. A very soft bubble went to the middle purple pinch twist, and 3 looptwists made the eyes. then a last very soft bubble went to the other corner of the mouth.

Happy Halloween  :D  :D  :D
