To be honest, when you started using the balloon, I said "Oh nooooo!!!" because I liked the way it looked before and then it got "ruined" 😅 Anyways, the end result is a beautiful abstract piece of artwork. Good job, Mark🖒💕 The only thing I don't like about it is that it reminds me of a big pile of tangled rabbit fence and how much work it would be to untangle it 😂

Thank you as always Denise. So I picked these up in a DIY store and a Cake Shop. Some are tools to decorate cakes and some are used to grout tiles or wall adhesive. If you look for a grouter you should start to find them. I expect they sell them in $ stores as they sell them in £ stores in the UK too 👍🏻
