To: <billo@kew.hotkey.net.au>, <balloon@balloonhq.com> I have been making 8 petal flower with 3 leaves from 160. I do it the same as a 6 petal but I fold it in half 3 times then twist all the twist together. The ladies seem to like them. For the kids I make a 4 petal flower with 2 leaves from 350's. When it is a little slow in the restaurants I make a 160 flower and blow up a balloon that matchs the stem. I put the bottom of the stem in the top of my fist and the top of the 2nd balloon in the bottom of my fist. It now looks like a flower with a very long stem. I give it a women. They will take the 2nd balloon and leave the flower in my hand. I turn away, take 3 steps, do lots of take. go back to the table and trade them balloons. Kim "Dr Pop" Anderson
