I was thinking about starting balloons... Well, I was thinking about practicing and was wondering what I should get to start out and to try it. I know about the red ketchup pump from reading around and when I look at it I wonder... How does the air go into the balloon? Do you squish it, whatever?!

I have never done it. I was wondering, how difficult is it to do really? As opposed to face painting that really took me over a year to feel as if I really could do this feeling. Is it something that is usually pretty easy to pick up, or rather hard? I have seen some pretty elaborate balloons, I am sure that takes a long time to master...I am not sure if I could remember how to twist some of these... any input is appreciated. Thanks ...
