At the moment all of my balloons are stuffed into a small rucksack and its not easy to get to them, see the colours etc...

Just wondering what bags people had or how they stored their balloons??? I want a normal looking bag that fits balloons really well.

Someone at the June party day had a pretty 'normal' looking bag (Dave Hickory maybe?) that looked ideal and very practicle. It may have been a fishing tackle bag or similar?

I know you can get special aprons and balloon rolls, but they are either really bright and colourful (which i dont want) or cost loads.

Ideas please! (pictures even better!)

Just wondered what sort of ant type bug creations people have come up with...

One of the first ever attempts at inventing my own design resulted in a four foot long ant (it was gonna be a spider but it went a bit AWOL!!!)

Then it snowed that week, which gave the photos extra mennace!

What ants/bugs have people made?

Ok, so this started off with a you tube (home of much of my inspiration!) deisgn

just search praying mantis balloon:

I have just purchased "A Little Bit More" by Thelma Levett...  

Unfortunately, the disk does not register in my DVD player or my PS3 Playstation  

Has anybody else had this problem or similar? Is it supposed to be played in a computer or something? My PS3 plays all DVD's, blueray, and games so should be up for the challenge? There's no scratches / marks on the disk.

ANY IDEAS???  :?:  :?:  :?:

...So a friend of mine wants a monkey made for him - i did the classic monkey on a palm tree and he was really impressed... A few weeks on however, its deflated and he's asked for a bigger better monkey.

Any tips? There's a monkey face on here that i'm trying out, but no multi balloon monkey tutorials - Surely someone is up for the challenge?  

Hi guys,

I'm from the UK, not far from London. I've only been twisting for 3 months, but i am keen to learn some more advanced designs- i'm not a performer and i dont have kids to make balloons for. Its just for fun.

I am however more interested in creating larger 'art' projects, rather than the basic 1/2 balloon designs.

Does anyone know of any competitions / exhibitions for this sort of balooning? Any tips? I an still learning after all!

I only have 260 Qualatex at the moment, with limited suppliers, so sempertex may be my next choice... are they as good?
