The eyes are two 2 finger bubbles tied together.
A black 4 finger bubble split in half for horns onto single pinchtwist.
Then four 1 finger bubbles tied together & twisted in half which go around the top pinchtwist as well.

Tie the first one figer bubble into the second pichtwist. This will keep the legs together.

The knot of the 4 finger bubble of the sheep's body goes around the pinchtwist at the top of the face with the
4 finger bubble being pushed in between the two back 6 finger bubbles of the sheep's head.
Hope the instructions are not too bad to follow :?:
Have added some green balloons as grass for effect.

It dosn't matter which way you start or finish as long as you end up with what you want :lol:
That sounds as clear as mud, their's no right way or wrong way, we all do things differently that what makes twisting such fun.

Hi

 I decided to have a little fun with this one.  I used neon green and pink and then took a pic of it under a uv light.  it has been at the plant way too long with Homer simpson. HEHEHEHE  have tried to post the pic but cant seem to get it right.  When i figure out how to post the pics correctly Ill put up my mutant glowing sheep on here.  I have made almost all of my animals out of the neon balloons just for jun.  I guess I must be a little wierd

Just noticed that since I put the instructions up for the sheep no one has attempted to make it, anyone up for a challenge :?:

I gave it a go but his head is far too big for the body and his legs are shooting out at funny angles... anyway here he is...

I have just come back from a week away down in Devon. We stay on a site that is also a working farm and the girls get to see all the animals so I thought trying to do this one again down there would be a good idea, the 1st pic is the sheep grazing in the field, we came home and it was our little ones 3rd birthday and one present was a farm set which prompted a request for another sheep (what have I started) this time I used eyeball balloons for eyes but I am not sure about them and will use a scrap next time I think

A friend who lives in Wales came up for a visit, and I remembered this model was on the forum. As you can see she couldn't keep her hands off him....
