"Lesson not just karate only. Lesson for whole life."

There is science to balloon art - pressure, friction, ... ... other stuff. When you are first starting out, lessons feel very mathematical - a dog is 4 finger bubble, 3 finger flower petal, etc.
Then someone comes along and makes it all magic.
Today I'm thankful for Dennis Bauyon.
I could do the basic moves - like Daniel-san I had been painting the fence and washing the car. Dennis hosted a balloon twisting webinar that showed me what else I was actually rehearsing for.
I was dutifully following along, loop twist here, okay - feed this through, got it - and all the sudden there was this amazing, stylized hippopotamus, and counts as the first "run downstairs to show off what I just made" balloon.
Dennis is the one who first showed how magical this could all be.
This face is based on a witch he taught in a different webinar and has become my "go to" face doodle, usually ends up pretty grumpy but you can get some decent expressions.
