Hi all, another newbie here.

I'm Lee and am based in Lancashire, just north of Manchester. My better half is a professional face painter and I've been looking at ways we can add to her business. I gave twisting a try and I seem to have a hidden talent I never knew I had, lol.

I've been watching a lot of YouTube videos and seem to have the basics mastered with things like swords, flowers, bears, guns, tigers. I'm going to concentrate on the 'simple' designs for now, stuff for line work, and then hopefully to bigger and better things.


Looking forward to learning a lot and hopefully contribute where I can

Welcome Lee - i hope you have a good time here!

Welcome to the forum Lee

Yes please post a picture or two, that way we can see your progress in this very strange world of latex.

Thanks for the welcome. I'm out and about at the moment so will post some up (probably tomorrow).

Good to see another new member and welcome.  Face painting and balloon twisting together - that is great!!!

Here is a sample of the things I've made currently, please feel free to comment on anything good or bad.

Oh, please ignore some of the strange colour choices, I've been using a big multi-bag so have to compromise on choices (like yellow eyes). I have some more on order now though!

Welcome lee looks like you've caught this very addictive bug! Lol Love your balloons you posted x

Thanks Sonia, and yeah I think I have, lol.  I gave it a go after watching a few youtube videos and was quite surprised how straight forward it was to make something out of one balloon that looked really effective. I think it will be a challenge to learn and remember designs but I'm going to give it a good go.
