RALPH DEWEY

 Wow, I just finished watching this DVD and Wow!

Ralph does a great job of showing you exactly how to make some of his fanciest figures. There's lots of close ups of his hands and everything is very clear. If you've had trouble with a Hook Twist here's clear instruction. The dog and frog with a hook twist are very cute. The 350 Bicycle is very nice and huge. The wheels and seat are especially nice. The Buzz Danger and Goofus Style Character use unique and clever methods of construction. These figures will absolutely amaze people. Even other twisters.

Includes: Bicycle, Buzz Danger the space ranger, The Little Roaring Tiger, The Hound Dog (Hook Twist), The Frog (Hook Twist), Goofus Cartoon Style Character.

DVD Bonus - Balloon Comedy Bits

Ralph has made a fine video for intermediate to advanced twisters. His figures are detailed and the instruction is clear. Ralph demonstrates an innovative way to get a small twisted figure into a 350 with his "Bird Nest with Baby in Egg". And he tells you how to make your own 350 stuffing tool. His "Lady in Red" is anatomically correct and well named but tastefully done. The Pelican with Fish is pretty easy but real cute and inventive. The jumping Dolphin on a stick is a good action toy type figure. Your audience will be impressed with any of these figures. The tape is clear. His mike picked up a bit much balloon noise but it's not too bad. I like this tape and highly recommend it.

Includes: Peg Leg Pirate with Parrot (1-260, 1-160), Helicopter with Motorized Blades (1-350, 3-260, 2-160), Lady in Red (multi 160), Rudy Reindeer Hat (3-260, 2-Heart, 1-160), Pelican with Fish (4-260, Heart), Bird Nest with Baby in Egg (350s, 160s, Bees, Rubber Cement), Dolphin (4-160).

DVD Bonus - Spring/Fall, Heart Scepter, and Snapping off a Balloon.

Ralph does a good job of teaching 12 Hats. The instruction and picture are clear with very little squeaking. Ralph considers it an intermediate tape. A beginner might have some difficulty but if you know the basics it should not be a problem. Once you get these hats down, you could do them in a line. I like this tape.

In 350s Ralph uses Brown and Light Blue. In 260s he uses White, Goldenrod, Lilac, Light Blue, Blue, Teal, Red, Yellow, Lime Green, Green, Brown, Pink, Blush, and Black. In 160s he uses Red, Yellow, Black, and White. He uses Pink and White 321Bs and Green and White Geo Blossoms. In Small Hearts he uses White and Pink.
