July 15 - The Secret Life of Rolly Polly Pets

CJ from Scary Movie (Snowball)
But who am I to doubt or question the inevitable being
For these are but a few discoveries
We find inside the Secret Life of Plants

~ Stevie Wonder The Secret Life of Plants

Dan Staples should be much more of a household name for balloon twisters.

His Rolly Pollies are such a fantastic and simple base for virtually any four legged creature and a great use of Big Bear Head balloons.  After making Snowball, he responded to the challenge and was inspired to create several "Pets" characters using this technique.  I copied these from those posts.

One thing I particularly like about the Rolly design is the gigantic canvas it provides for you to draw on.  Such a good wide and round face with which to practice, and I need lots and lots of practice!

We are scheduled to see the movie today, I'll bring these to our theater.
