I remade this tonight as it has changed a little from the original I used to make. There is another version here with more detail as well, pink-panther-t4921.html?hilit=pink panther

Hi there

Hope this finds you all keeping well :)

I've been looking around to try and find the rules/etiquette for model of the month.  Do we have to do an exact replica of Graham's gorgeous Pink Panther or can we just post our own version of one - I am new to twisting so I am very much dependent on following a set up instructions rather than trying to make it up as I go along :)

Thanks in advance for your help

Either or really, it's nice to see some have a go and it's nice to see some variations on a theme. There are no rules, we all make it up as we go along.

Thanks Graham for the info :)

I have had a go at a pink panther  :lol:  As I am very new to twisting I didn't even try to replicate yours.  Mine is soooo much simpler and not so technically challenging but still quite challenging for me!  But I will have a go when you post the instructions later in the month.  Here is my pink panther for now  :P

Thanks for looking :)

I will be putting the instructions up tomorrow, taken all the pictures and re,made it today. I ran out of time today to write out the instructions.
Looking to put maybe an easier one up next month as not many had a go this time around.

Here we go then, Pink Panther instructions, inflate a White balloon about half way, make apprx a 6 finger fold twist and two 2 finger fold twists. Attach a Pink 260 to the centre of the White fold twists which has 4 fingers un-inflated, twist a 6/7 finger bubble and a 4/5 finger fold twist.

Make another 4/5 finger fold twist for the cheeks and then twist another 6/7 finger bubble to match the first one you made and twist this into the centre of the white balloon again.
I then make the next 6/7 finger bubble a finger longer so that the top of the nose/muzzle loops up slightly as in the picture.
