YAY!!! WE CREATED A SPANISH FACE PAINTING MAGAZINE!...

... and, of course, I have to share it with my beloved and admired FPF friends!!!! I met a Spanish painter in July here on the forum . She had created a Facebook group for Spanish painters and I joined them. In september I travelled to Malaga (500 km away from my town) to jam together and now some of the Facebook group members have made a magazine to raise awareness of face painting in Spain (Hum, maybe some day...) Anyway, I'm so proud of our work and although I know most of you won't understand a word, I need to share it here and say THANK YOU for being always there!
Here's the link https://www.facebook.com/PintamosFacepaintingEspana

You have to click on the magazine cover (with an elf on it) and expand the image. Then, click on the little arrows to turn pages (Hope that makes sense,LOL)

Ohhhhhhhh!! What a great magazine you made! Love it!
for ou and your friends Pilareta!!

Yay!!!! I often think of you, Pilareta, and how you told us that no one really face paints there. I am happy you are helping to raise the art form in Spain!

Pilareta, what a wonderful magazine! and so nice that you are a part of it! (Did I see your picture there in the last pages??)
Hope it does the trick and gets face painting noticed there in Spain!

Thanks everyone for your kind words, they really mean a lot for me!

Valerie, I wrote the "teardrops and swirls" section and I painted the "Ginferbread man" design (that cute boy is my oldest son). I also baked and painted those tasty biscuits .
(And I ate them, too. LOL)

Oh! I saw that Gingerbread man recipe and thought it was a cute addition to the magazine! Yummm. Nice swirls! I saw your name on that page when I looked back at it. Is your son the one with the gingerbread man in his 'mouth?'

That is an awsome magazine, though I don't speak spanish it really looks full of instructional information.

Thanks, X-Faction! I wish you could understand the texts, we really wanted to do something easy and instructional because FPing is not very popular in Spain and there are no publication about F&B Painting in our language. I'm so glad you liked it!

Valerie, yes, my 8 y.o. is the one who eats a gingerbread man (both, the painted and the real one,LOL -pages 21 and 39-) He usually runs away whenever I unpack my kit BUT he agreed when I told him "he would be famous"

The magazine looks wonderful!
What about your pretty decorated cookies, have you done any this season?

Wow me encanta la revista ! Gracias por compartir

Thanks, I'm still excited with our new "baby"!

Katerra, I've done some biscuits, but I'm learning to work with cup cakes and "fondant" because painting with "royal frosting" was very hard . These are some of my new cup cakes:




I'm also learning to decorate "cake pops"

OMG! Those cake pops are SOOO cute! I don't think I could even eat them, they are so adorable!!!

You'd eat them, Erica...They're delicious!

LOL probably wouldn't have a chance with my 3 kiddos running around!

Really beautiful, Pilareta!!

The cupcakes look so pretty and the pop cakes are adorable, Pilareta!

wow Pilareta, those cupcakes and pops are so cute! You are a multi-talented girl!

Aaaaw, Thanks, guys! Learning and improving make me feel good (and your words make me feel even better;LOL)

Something's wrong with the link We're looking for the issue but, meanwhile you can click here to see the magazine http://issuu.com/pintamos/docs/pintamos_n1_dic2012
