Based on the submitted ideas, we've come up with a composite one-balloon pig.

Make a teddy-bear head with a tulip-twist nose, then a short neck, short legs, short bird-body, short legs, and a .5" tail. <OL> <H2><a name="steps">Step-by-step Description</a></H2> <LI>Inflate a 260 leaving about 5" uninflated. <IMG SRC = "pig01.gif" HEIGHT="267" WIDTH="475"><P> <LI>Start with a .5" <A HREF="http://www.fooledya.com/balloon/faq/twists.html#apple">apple twist</A> (the snout). <LI>Twist a 1.5" bubble (nose and back of head). <IMG SRC = "pig07.gif" HEIGHT="267" WIDTH="475"><P> <LI>Twist a 1" bubble (jowl), a .5" bubble (ear), a 1.5" bubble (top of head), a .5" bubble (ear) and another 1" bubble (jowl). <LI>Lock-twist the two 1" jowl bubbles at the base of the jowls. <IMG SRC = "pig13.gif" HEIGHT="267" WIDTH="475"><P> <LI>Roll the snout through the head but leave only the apple-twist poking through. <IMG SRC = "pig21.gif" HEIGHT="267" WIDTH="475"><P> <LI><A HREF="http://www.fooledya.com/balloon/faq/twists.html#eartwist">Ear-twist</A> both ears <LI>Make a 1" bubble (neck). <LI><A HREF="http://www.fooledya.com/balloon/faq/twists.html#locktwist">Lock-twist</A> two 1" bubbles (front legs). <IMG SRC = "pig26.gif" HEIGHT="267" WIDTH="475"><P> <LI> For the <A HREF="http://www.fooledya.com/balloon/faq/twists.html#3bubble">bird body</A>, make a 1.5" bubble and a 2" bubble, then lock twist them at the neck. Now make a 1.5" bubble and roll it through the first two. Note that the tendency is to make the two symmetrical ones, then the larger bubble. It's easier to roll one of the smaller bubbles through the larger gap created by two bubbles of different size. <IMG SRC = "pig32.gif" HEIGHT="267" WIDTH="475"><P> <LI><A HREF="http://www.fooledya.com/balloon/faq/twists.html#locktwist">Lock-twist</A> two 1" bubbles (back legs). <LI>Twist a .5" bubble, then tie a knot in the balloon as close to the .5" bubble as possible. <LI>Poke a hole in the end to deflate the remainder of the balloon. Roll the deflated end of the balloon between your thumb and index finger to twist it up and make it curl. <IMG SRC = "pig41.gif" HEIGHT="267" WIDTH="475"><P> </OL> <H2>Photos!</H2> <H3>Front</H3><P><IMG SRC="pigfront.jpg" HEIGHT = "349" WIDTH = "379"><P> <H3>Back</H3><P><IMG SRC="pigback.jpg" HEIGHT = "304" WIDTH = "256"><P> <H3>Right</H3><P><IMG SRC="pigright.jpg" HEIGHT = "529" WIDTH = "409"><P> <H3>Left</H3><P><IMG SRC="pigleft.jpg" HEIGHT = "370" WIDTH = "508"><P> <H2>For those of you with WRL browsers, here's a <A HREF = "./pig.wrl">3-D pig</A>.</H2> <H3>Thanks to these contributors who shared their ideas:</H3> <UL> <li><a href="http://www.fooledya.com/balloon/twistmail/upto20jul95/mail.a17102"> Tracy Atteberry</a> - Two-balloon Pig <li><a href= "http://www.fooledya.com/balloon/twistmail/upto17Feb96/mail.a24796"> Alan Johnson</a> <li><a href= "http://www.fooledya.com/balloon/twistmail/upto17Feb96/mail.a25106"> Arlene Powers</a> <li><a href= "http://www.fooledya.com/balloon/twistmail/upto17Feb96/mail.a18372"> Cha-cha</a> <li><a href= "http://www.fooledya.com/balloon/twistmail/upto17Feb96/mail.a11642"> Fred Harshberger</a> <li><a href= "http://www.fooledya.com/balloon/twistmail/upto17Feb96/mail.a21734"> Larry Hirsch</a> </UL> <HR> Go to the <A HREF="http://www.fooledya.com/balloon/faq/SculptureNames.html">Alphabetical List of sculptures.</A><P> Go to the <A HREF="http://www.fooledya.com/balloon/faq/SculpturesCategorized.html"> Categorized list of sculptures.</A> <HR> <ADDRESS>This consolidated page was created by <A HREF="mailto:ddawson@clarify.com">Dennis Dawson</A> of Enlightened Path Communications with assistance from Larry Moss, Mark Balzer and David Graves.<P> Last modified August 20, 1996.</ADDRESS>
