Camel's one of my favorites. I don't have a balloon with me (shame, shame, shame), so I'm guessing at the lengths. I'll try it tonight and repost if it's way off. It's essentially a dog with a bulbous nose, small ears, long curved neck, and two ear twists on the back. ################# ##### CAMEL ##### ################# Leave about 5" uninflated. ear twist ear twist \ / \ / @( 2 )(.25)(.25)( 4 )( 3 )( 3 )( 1)(1.5)(1)(1.5)(1)( 3 )( 3 )(tail) Nose \ ears / Neck \ legs /\-------back-------/ \--legs--/ __o _ / _ \ /\ /\ // \/ \ \__ __\/__\/_ _// \___/ \_/\__/\_/\/ | | | \ |_| |_| Bend the nose to make it bulge at the nipple, make tiny ears, then make the neck and give it a very dramatic bend. This sculpture tends to curl up in the fetal position, but with patient adjustment it will stand on its own. Let me know if I didn't make it clear. P.S. - Larry, Mark and I just did some work on the website to update the links from the sculpture list to the original mail messages. It would help immensely if those of you who are generous enough to send sculpture instructions would include the name of the sculpture in the subject (title) of your mail message. It helps a lot when creating and testing the links if I can quickly see whether or not I have the right message without reading it in its entirety. In this case, I'm replying to the message "Re:Dirty Hands." Rather than use that name, I changed it to "Camel Idea for Bruce." That lets Bruce know that it's a reply, but will help me later if we decide this is good enough to add to the list. --> Cap'n Denny (the Red Flash) <--
