I have been twisting a lot for about 4 years. One thing I do to keep from
freaking out is to use my balloon twisting jobs as the opportunity to try
out new designs (this amuses me). Every shift or event I try to create a new
design or restyle or improve an old one. Try and think, "where can I add
another balloon to make this animal better. There are some EASY gimmies like
leashes or collars. Try making LARGE animal heads and attaching them onto
basic hat bands. Definitely keep some 160's and 350's in your apron. Hope
this helps, it does me.
