![]() Class Summary ![]() ![]() LINK-O-LOONS® provide an easy attachment point. This arch was made with 3 rounds and one LINK-O-LOON® in the quad. The LINK-O-LOON® provided the attachment point to add the small quad and heart. ![]() ![]() ![]() The most exciting concept that Guido taught is the ability to use LINK-O-LOONS® to make three dimensional sturctures. Three dimensional stuctures have typically been built using non-round balloons and the weaving technique. LINK-O-LOONS® work exactly the same way. Make circles of strands of LINK-O-LOONS®. Once you determine how many LINK-O-LOONS® to put in a circle each circle you stack on top will have the same number of LINK-O-LOONS® in it. Just vary the size to make the shape larger or smaller. Then use strands of LINK-O-LOONS® to weave the vertical lines and fill up the space between each circle. Just like in the wall, but it is now three dimensional. Vary the size of the vertical strands of LINK-O-LOONs to fill the space between each circle. The whole structure is then stabilized with duplets of rounds at each intersection. Guido demonstrated this technique by making a Rabbit in a Top Hat and a Vase. The Vase becomes even more dramatic with a light in the bottom. The rabbit has 660B arms and ears. If you want a 660B to have a bend in it be sure to put the bend in as it is being inflated. The rabbit head can be made many ways, two alternatives are shown. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Guido also made a cute Lion. The face is made from a 6" Heart Cat Face White stuffed inside of a 6" Citrine Heart. The base is a LINK-O-LOON® with an apple twist. Instructor Bio
