¹2 (4), April—May 2008. The art of twisting.
Twisting is like a dance. A violent dance with unexpected and difficult pas that is ready to share its powerful energy with the people. This is a pair dance. The couple dancing is the master’s hands and the mild elastic body of balloons. The more skillful the professional is the more tender and yielding the balloons are and the more elegant becomes the final pattern created by the couple’s effort.
The main topic of this edition is the story about the masters who have made balloon design a real art. Our task is not to surprise you but to show you what everyone of us is capable to create so that we could rank with professional twisters.
We would like to wish success and victories in balloon design contests to all those who have already started to master the beautiful art of balloon design.
