We go from gigantic turkey to a micro kitty. These are the next designs from Matt Falloon's Picos DVD.
Picos are a fun challenge to get right. You don't have the same flexibility as you might when making a larger size balloon. One of the things you need to learn when twisting is that it's not only the size of a balloon, but it's the relative pressure you need to be in control of when you are creating things. A tight 1" bubble that you pinch twist looks very different than a soft 1" bubble than you pinch twist.
When you are working with Picos, you are working with the smallest sized balloons making tiny adjustments - it's much less of an exact science and more of a "feel". It actually forces you to twist the way I believe you are meant to - watch the video first, then attempt (rather than trying to twist along with the video). I built the designs that Matt showed on the DVD, but also had a corny idea of doing an invisible cat and giving it a Cheshire grin.
