Have you checked BHQ yet for instructions?  I've used crab and lobster
instructions in the past and they worked really well.  Another resource would be
Balloon Magic--The Magazine.  There's a searchable index at www.qualatex.com and
you could find which issues the directions are in.

One more suggestion--find a twister in your area to sub-contract the work to.
That happens quite a bit in our local QBN chapter and works great for everyone!

Hope some of this helps--what a fun theme!
