Wuppie addict... (New)

Thank you for your nice words everybody!
I'm happy to see wuppies are loved by so many!

I loooooove painting them, but everybody knows that by now I guess....
My wuppies crawl all over....

I did a couple last night! I used the havana sunset one stroke for it.

Gorgeous!!
Very clever spider!
And those wuppies..... Awwwww *melts*

Wuppie carol!

OMG i LOVE Wuppies!!!
They are soo cute.. and those are amazing..
The little xmas carolers are too funny

This is my today's favorite!

OMG! I did not know what these were called when I made one. Too cute! Might have to "borrow" some of these ideas I've only done one little plain one, but it's fun!

they are so much fun Lizzie, they look like children's book illustrations!

Those are so adorable!

Love those Lizzie! You are sooooo VERY talented! Like Mamakatrien said: they look like children's book illustrations!
Last night I was letting all my friend's kids pick what they wanted from my inspiration folder...and her 17 year old son picked your wuppie with the shark (yes, all your wuppies are in my folder!! )
Since I'm so new to face painting I said I could do the wuppie, but I didn't think I could do the rest. He said "try anyway." So I did...it wasn't anywhere as great as yours, but I was pleased for being the newbie I am. I am going to post it later in the Show and Tell thread for us newbies. He is a really big guy and it was cute to see him with it.

Thank you SO MUCH for your inspiration!!

My favourites are Venice and say cheese. I also really like the one you posted on FB with the lamp

This is conversation that just happened in my house, after I showed my kids my first ever attempt at wuppies:

DS #2: Wow, that's really good mom!

Me: Thanks, check this out - I then show him Lizzie's work at the beginning of this thread

DS #2 gasps and says WOW, she did that with FACEPAINT!!!!

DS #3 (who is 6) says, not to rain on your parade mom but those are AWESOME!!!!

Me: I know! Aren't they cool

DS #3 - that woman should really be a facepainter for a living - I bet people would actually pay her to do that!


I love my kids - they crack me right up - even if they think Lizzie's wuppies are waayyy cooler than mine (and they totally are)

Christina,
Kids can be so funny.

Oh well..... Now my eyes are all watering up.....
Pffffffffff.....

Thank you so much for all the support, means a lot to me!

I'm not that great facepainter actually, still have to learn a lot! I'm not practising faces enough lately (my skin is very dry, due to chemo) only practising on my arm!
And yes... Wuppies are my favorites, so I keep on painting those!!
They make me smile!

Valerie: please Thank your friend for being so cool! But Thank him even more for encouraging you so much, you did paint the shark! Don't ever think you can't do it, just keep trying!
Edit: can't find the picture in the show and tell topic?

Christine: your kids rock! Please say a huge Thank you for the sweet comments!

Preparing for christmas!

Oh my goodness, I love them!!! I just started doing some google eye designs and will have to come up with some. I still remember being in elementary school, trying so hard to sell stuff for school fundraisers so I could earn wuppies as prizes. I only got a couple but still have them!

You are so talent and your wuppies are amazing.

L!zzie, I finally got well enough to post my Shark Wuppie in Show and Tell.

Thank you again soooooooooooooo much for your inspiration.
Inspiration on so many levels!! Hope you are having a "good" day today and not one of those bad ones.

Love your wuppies with the tree! They are so CUTE!!!! Love how they are struggling so hard under in, getting the final piece, then tumbling down with the jewels and lights all wrapped up around them! You make me

Keep them coming!!!!
(as you are able to )

they are so adorable, I love them

Lizzie - did you make up Wuppies, or is this some character. They are just so cute, think I'm going to offer some in the future. I love what you do with your wuppies, like in the duck float, lol, that's just so cute!

Hi Tina!
Wuppies are a merchandising article since '70, in US they're called weepul.
So I didn't invent them, but was the first to introduce them to the world of facepaint!

L!zzie, I never knew that they were in the US in the 70's as weepuls! (I read about them on Wikipedia after seeing your comment.) Maybe I lived in 'isolation' in southern California! Or my memory is worse than I thought...which is probably the case Interesting how they caught on in the Netherlands. So happy you brought them to the forum!
Glad to 'see' you up at your computer today (or it must be night for you now.)
Looking at your avatar wuppies right now, they actually look 3D! Amazing!
Take care!

L!zzie! I just found this posted in another thread....and this is very presumptious, but I hope you don't mind if I post it here. I just want to know where all your wuppies are so I can come visit them from time to time

...and this one just might be my VERY favorite....so far...Our anniversary is in April and I would love to try to paint this on a card for my husband. Thanks again for more inspiration! (I'm really thinking you should write and illustrate a children's book...or paint cards!)

A wuppie by L!zzie from another thread:

Hi Valerie! Thank you for loving these little fellows!
Please try to paint it!

All my wuppies are on my 'Kwant' facebookpage! Enjoy!
