I seem to have made a few minor mistakes in my frog, mostly having to do with proportions. Basically, you just have to play around with bubble sizes, until you get a "froggy" look to it. Notes: 1. The eyes should be turned parallel to the supporting balloon. 2. Adjust the length of the bubble that connects to the middle of the mouth. 3. For greater stability, add a second ET to each end of the green body balloon. Also, here is a new version of the Energizer Bunny, that doesn't require a GEO Donut. Sir Twist's Energizer Bunny =========================== You will need: 2 Pink 260Qs 1 White 260Q 1 Lt. Blue 260Q 1 Black 260Q (you just need a 3 inch piece) 1. Inflate the first pink 260, leaving 4 inches. Twist as follows: >(2.5)(4)(4)(2)(3)(1).... \Ears/ ET Inflate the white balloon, leaving 6 inches. Make a 1 inch ET, and wrap the white balloon around the pink balloon, after the ET. Locktwist the white balloon to its initial ET. Make a second loop around the first one. Again, locktwist it to the white ET. Break off the remainder of the white balloon and tie. Now, with the pink balloon, make a second ET after the white disc. Twist as follows: ...(3)(3)(1)... arm ET Break off remainder. Locktwist the arms together. Inflate the second pink balloon, leaving 3 inches. Tie the nozzle to the ET at the end of the first pink balloon. Make two bubbles just long enough to go around the bottom of the white disc, and stay in place. Break off and tie. 2. Inflate the blue balloon only 1.5 inches. Tulip twist the end, and break it off and tie about 2 inches down. Repeat. These are the drumsticks. Tie one into each of the ETs at the ends of the arms. 3. Inflate the piece of black balloon 1 inch. Move this bubble to the middle, and divide it in half. Tie these sunglasses in place around the head. There ya go!
