Hello everybody,
My name is Zzesto & I am new to balloon twisting & decoration. For the
last 15 days I have been going thru’ the suggestions offered both at the
balloons& at the balloonsdeco list.
The art of balloon twisting & décor itself is in a very nascent stage in
India. Apart from myself there are only two other twisters in India. I
would therefore like to introduce the fine art of balloon décor to India
in a big way.
The foll; are the problems faced:
1) We do not get high quality balloons both for twisting & décor in
India.
2)  No information is available regarding construction of frames for
arches,heart shapes or other designs.
3) High-float & helium is not used here. Only hydrogen gas is used to
make the balloons float.

  However, I would still like to do my best under the given
circumstances.
Shall appreciate all suggestions for the construction of frames. Is
Aluminium used? If so, will heavy bases at either ends keep it stable?
How to make tight,beautiful looking spirals by blowing ordinary balloons
and twisting them around the frames? How to make symmetrical looking
spirals with each spiral of a dfferent color?
I know for sure that all you experts out there will chip in with a whole
lot of suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks all
