"When the war gets here
We're all gonna get on the level
Everyone will look a little bit nicer
When you finally meet the devil"

I had the pleasure of meeting Marvin Hardy - legend of the industry, and a special guest at Bling Bling Convention 2018 (guessing year). In his talk, he mentioned going through "a bag of balloons a day". Not just on gigs - daily practice. A hundred balloons. Every day. One Punch Man energy.
I have a few bags of different brands/colors that I've obtained with the intention (if not yet the motivation) to try out. So here is the challenge, pick one, every week. No rules other than that. No goals other than this - use the bag.
Tuftex Red rover, Tuftex Red rover -- I dare you to ... lets just get on with this.
I didn't have a plan, so I just sort of noodled around some basic shapes. Honestly, kind of a slog fest at first, I don't have many same-color-multiple-260 builds in my pocket and I just finished that whole crab day which in hindsight would have been perfect. The lobster is an Isopresso design that is mostly 260s.

Quick take: Tuftex Red is easy to inflate, sits on the darker side of the red spectrum, and has just the barest of transparencies - very similar to the Sempertex red in that regard (blog has comparison images). They seemed to take a decent bit of abuse without problem - I wasn't going crazy, but I certainly wasn't trying to be careful either.
