The VCR blowing up the day before a new balloon tape arrives!! AARRGHH!! Well, I bought a new VCR and "popped" (sorry for that) in Patty and Royal's Dynamic Interactive Cranial Decorations. I wish I would have watched it last night before I went to do a party. What an excellent tape. The hats range from easy to intermediate. From very quick to fairly quick. The masks (think ear/eye/nose of an animal combination) are mighty impressive and would be great for children's parties. I am finding that adults want hats at parties. I did a 40th "at work" party and I did a "family only" party for a child. Since the rest of the family were teens and adults, they all wanted hats. I find that the adults enjoy watching you make a different hat for each person. And, of course, each hat has to be just as cool as the last, because no one wants to have an "ordinary" balloon hat (is there such a thing?) I think that an experienced twister can get some new ideas from this video. It explains from the basis that you know how to twist. At 70 minutes long- it is a good investment for learning over 34 hats, 8 masks, and 7 costumes (I took the numbers from T's catalog)! ______________________________________________________________ Love is in the Air...on a 747 to Paris ...
