Does anyone know of any good smaller sized balloons? Something like half the length of 260Q's?

The only balloon that I am familiar with, that is in the 2" diameter size, is the 260. You can break off the 260, during your sculpting, to whatever shorter length you need. I have used a 260 for just a 2" bubble, and broke off the rest. ou can then, if you want, reuse the part you broke off, in a different sculpture.

160's are 1 inch by 60 inches but not half the length..

Just cut the balloon and now you have two if you need it half sized...

Ralph Dewey makes a balloon even smaller than a 160 but the length appears to be your problem.

Tilly used to make a 130. but befor you get your hopes up.... the bag they came in was worth more than the balloons in side.

I learned balloon sculpting with 245's (in the early 1980's). I understand that that was the size of the first one-balloon-sculpture balloons. Some of the figures I made back then work better with 260's; some don't. 245's are rather hard to find these days and when you find them they aren't the same quality as the 260's you're probably using.

People have been working with 321s undipped - they are about half the length of a 260s, but fatter in diameter.
