My favorite balloon creation

As a balloon twister in Greenville, SC I get asked all the time "What is your favorite balloon to make?" That really is a tough choice for my current balloon creations.  I tend to like the more unique balloons that other twisters don't make, or the interactive balloons, such as the football field goal balloon.  However my favorite balloon creation of all time was actually one of my most simple balloons.
I was working at the SC School for the Deaf and Blind as a clown. It was near the end of the day.  A girl asked for a guitar.  I looked up and realized that she was blind.  I made a basic guitar but then added some balloon strings.  I pulled the strings to different lengths in order to get different sounds out of each one.  It took a few extra minutes, but the smile on the little girls' face made it worthwhile.  Sometimes balloon twisters forget that we are not making balloons for ourselves, but for others.
