April 6 - Rabbit-ichu


“All for one and one for all, united we stand divided we fall.”

~ Alexandre Dumas, The Three Musketeers

The balloon community really outdid themselves this last week.  Everyone is going to be out of work for a long while, so some folks got together and put together a free online balloon convention with over 100 individual segments spread over 5 days.

I didn't even realize this was going on until day 3 (!!), like someone dropped off a bag full of Halloween candy.  All of the content of a balloon convention without the travel, the cost or the social anxiety.

But additionally - a convention can be  a bit of a whirlwind with instructors/competitions/events, overwhelming before you add the need to sleep/eat/make merry.  Since we are all cooped up, I'm going to invite you all to share this Halloween candy with me.

One of the first twisting segments was with Juan Gonzales where he showed some quick line-work Easter designs and ways to re-use his Pikachu design.  It works great for the rabbit ears, but my favorite use is definitely the frog.

The blue bunny "should" be sitting on top of a carrot wand, but that makes for a difficult picture ...
