(and I've gotten a couple private inquiries) Both Balloon Magic Magazine and Balloons and Parties Magazine provide printed material and ideas about 260 figures (and both are proud sponsors of Balloon HQ!) Balloon Magic is a publication dedicated to the subject of balloon twisting and provides wonderful ideas and photos in every issue. The Balloon Magic web site has a great index of back issues... with samples of the cover art and listings of the sculptures included in each issue. Balloons and Parties Magazine is a mainly a decorator's publication, but 260 sculpture ideas and photos frequently appear. The latest issue features front cover art and a 2-page article showcasing Twist and Shout 2000 competition entries. Additionally, T. Myers offers 'Best of True Inflations' concatenations. True Inflations is no longer in publication, but was a great source of ideas and information for balloon twisters. If you make your way to the BHQ Sponsor page, you will find links to Balloon Magic, and Balloons and Parties, and T. Myers Magic... please tell them you found them at Balloon HQ! Sheena K.
