Excellent work

Does anybody know how to make the head look better?


more practice???

I've always fancied trying balloons and indeed even have a couple of starter packs but I just never seem to get round to it!!

Tony,

Nice Monkey. It looks like its hungry.

there is a twist for Monkey heads but I could never suss it out. I prefer your approach anyway.

Just remembered where the monkey head twist was from. Its from Balloon School with Joe Montella. Its a tough one, and as I said yours is much better.

Perhaps give it a tongue? ("tongue" there being a noun and not a verb)

My balloon girlfriend stayed with me for quite a while, she made it all the back to my bedroom in wakefield, then she lost some of her luster so i stabbed her repeatedly with a pair of scissors and through her in the bin.

Tony,

Awesome monkey!

Most of the balloons I do right now are one balloon sculptures. I am trying to further my craft though. I do have a couple that use more than one. My favorite is my fish on fishing pole which uses 3balloons. I dont know how to post pics here but you can see some of my stuff at my site
