I have been making these animals today.

The Pink Elephant was a more detailed version of a line work idea taught by Wallie at the Millennium Jam

Then I made some others, and I thought it would be interesting to compare them with old photos of animals I made years ago

First the giraffe......

Then with all the panda designs flying about, I decided to make a panda

The lion I was particularly pleased with. It is based on a You-Tube tutorial by Mr Boma. He has some great designs he posts on his You-Tube channel.

Does anyone else have any old design / new design photos ?. I think it would be interesting to see them, and to see how we, and ballooning have progressed  

You have been busy Kevin,
it's a good idea about posting the same model now and from years gone by, not sure how far back I have pictures but will try to look some up.
