August 21 - Beluga Whale

Baby beluga in the deep blue sea,
Swim so wild and you swim so free.
Heaven above and the sea below, And a little white whale on the go.

~ Raffi Baby Beluga

I have a LOT of balloon twisting channels in my YouTube subscription playlist, but I still search for more.

One I found fairly recently that is chock full of goodness, is "goody balloon" - with Japanese artist Kanesan.

The instructions and information is all in Japanese, but they are visibly clear and easy to follow despite the language barrier. Thankfully so, because I tried auto-translating the auto-generated subtitles on YouTube, it was interesting, but not accurate in the least. "But why microwave still horn" - indeed.

Recently he did a number of the characters from the Finding Dory movie, and one was Baily, the Beluga whale, voiced by Ty Burell (Phil Dunphy from Modern Family). The design is fairly simple but effective, the big bulging head really brings it to life.

Actually we're kriller whales...	Whale whale whale, what have we here?
He can't keep a secret ... he's a blubber mouth.
