Well personally, I would like to know how you get into the darn big balloon lol.  However, the heart is a better choice for the model of the month.

They are all the same basic design with a few slight variations.

A few more, looks like I taught this at a Banstead care & share day a while back, I thought the first time I showed this was at Pam & Paul's day earlier in the year.
See what old age does for you!! he he.

The heart with flowers is the complete Valentines Day gift in one air-adorably light package.

This is my first time trying this, I hope I'm doing it right.

I think I am having a brain block on this heart!  No matter which way I start I simply cannot get a heart.  I have started with a 6 petal flower, then I tried starting with a 3 petal flower with pinch twists at the ends.  I am not giving up Graham, just letting you know that the reason I don't have a picture posted yet.

I will post a little teaser to help with how to start off the heart, just off to do some more shows before Christmas.

Here are some pictures to help, please have a good look at the five petal flowers and then hopefully this will be a good starting point.

I realized after I had made the three hearts that one petal on each should have been longer.  But all in all, I think it's a pretty darn good heart!!!!  Thank you Graham, for this and all of the "Model of the Month's" that you have done.  It's not a matter of just doing them, it's the learning new twists and thinking out the steps.  With those tools, it is so much easier to try new things and perhaps even one day, come up with a brand new design!!!!!  Many, many thanks!!!! :)

Thanks for the hint, Graham.  I didn't have a clue where to start when I first saw it!

Millie I am pleased you struggled a little with the design and I said I would put some hints up, as after I posted the hint pictures today I had 5 mins before I had to go off to do my last Christmas show of the season so carried on and made the heart. Well the top centre section I changed a little and have a slight variation on a theme which at the moment I am liking a lot,
so thanks  :D  If you had not mentioned this I may not have got the new variation.
