Dear Sheree,

What I meant was figures such as disney characters etc and names that are
licensed.  the basic one balloon figures you are talking about, everybody
makes with their own variations and I don't think that anybody would expect
you to track down who made it first!  In fact some people have come up with
the same balloon figure on opposite sides of the world.  For other figures
with more than one balloon etc.  You could credit them as inspired by Marvin
Hardy or Royal and Patty Sorrell etc.  All that I did was to thank all those
balloon buskers that I have swapped ideas with as I only use one and two
balloon figures.  I use balloons for stories in schools and Church and one
and two balloon figures are ideal for these occasions.  The book that I
wrote with stories is meant for this purpose.

Happy Book Writing

Regards
