Latest Halloween balloon models....

Hello Steemians,

I've been busying myself with balloons and feeding the local wildlife. I do have another three models, which are my second skeleton attempt, my witch and another, shorter legged, spider. I can build models at leisure and I have noticed a difference between the skeleton's head (which is just plain mental and makes me laugh) and the witch's head (which was constructed differently and I feel looks a lot better, although not as funny :) ). It's reminded me of some of the genuinely amazing things that can be created with modelling balloons. These are not such examples, but they have inspired me to get even more creative and a little more technical.

I'll always make daft stuff that a child would kick under the table in embarrassment and shame, but I feel that I have the time to produce some really nice models and structures, so will be concentrating on some quality models in future. Anyway, back to this post and here's the three finished models (sort of :) ), followed by the skeleton in steps and a couple of progressive witch pictures. I didn't take any pictures of the spider being made.

As you may have noticed, the spider has had one of his legs ripped off, so he's not too happy at all. I'll add comments to explain the following pictures of the progressive building of the skeleton:

I was just fiddling with balloons and wondering if I could create a better rib for a skeleton, than the last one I did. This is what I came up with and it inspired me to make this:

A spinal column, with a rib attached, which was soon followed, of course, by this....

....which reminds me of a Caduceus wand.

I added the rest of the ribs.

And a couple of arms. And, where are the Andes?......

That's right, at the end of your armies :).

And finally..........

I'll be honest, the skeleton has taken over my flat a little bit:
