Thank you for the Donations

I wanted to say Thank you to every one who donated. Between the donations I received, the new ads on the site, and a new hosting service, I should be able to post more videos in better quality. The plan is to make a video and post it in different resolution and file sizes.

So if you have a high speed ISP or are will will wait, you view the better resolution. Other wise, you get the blurry videos. :)

I am making videos. but they won't be posted till July. I am currently very busy build my friend a transformer costume.

So be patient.

More Balloon Twisting Videos Coming Soon.

I am sorry that it has been over two months since I have posted a new balloon twisting video. I have been trying to find a better solution to improve the quality of the videos.

Unfortunately, better videos mean more $$$. So I decided put up a donations page for those who like the videos and would like to contribute .

I plan on posting these videos soon:
  • Balloon Twisting Basics
  • Tearing Balloons
  • Dragon
  • Hat Basics
  • Football Helmet
  • Dolphin Hat
  • Butterfly Hat
  • Simple Spider-man
Plus many more.

New Site for Balloon Animals

Hello,

My name is Michael Floyd. I have been twisting balloons since December of 1998. Back when I started twisting balloon animals, there were very few free resources to help a people learn how to twist balloons.

Since Balloons have helped me buy my first car, and get through college, I figure I should give something back. This site is going to be a way of paying it forward.

I decided to post video instructions and photos of sculptures I've made. I'm going to leave the comments open, fee free to tell me what you think, what I'm doing right, what I'm doing wrong. All Input is appreciated.
