Fairy Belly!

Got a new one - the first one I've been able to do while NOT being pregnant myself, lol.

Fun mama, she loved bright colors and glitter. Girl after my own heart.

I hate to say it, but I'm not loving my new Paradise. They blend a little TOO much and I can't get any kind of layering with them without it going muddy. Guess it's time to start playing with Wolfe or DFX. *sigh* (Not that I don't love an excuse to buy paint but the $$$$. Augh.)

I have a big maternity consignment sale coming up in September that I'll be doing PPB. Anybody have experience with this kind of event yet?

Gorgeous! She looks so happy

oooo soo sweet! I absolutely adore this design!! thank you so much for sharing, you did a great job! aw, this is just so nice! great artwork!

Wow! It is pretty . Wish I could do babies and so on like that...

Great job!

That is SO beautiful! I love love love it.

I love it!!!

Wow that's really lovely, I've never done a PPB so sorry can't help you there.

Great, love it!

Oooh, beautiful! Love the design!

It's so sweet. The innocence of a baby shines through this design. I love it.

Oooooh, so warm and sweet! Love the baby's face...

By PPB im assuming you mean pay per belly? I have done these types of events before & i recommend going a bit of a different route.. I use the venue to advertise my work rather than trying to grab peoples attention at the beginning of the event & try to get them to sit down & then actually pay for the work.

At the last event i was at which was a HUGE kids/baby clothing & toy swap meet, I called my local lady I deal with whom sends me moms who are on assistance that cant pay for something like this themselves. I book 2 or 3 in for the day. I pay for my table.. At the front! Important! (by the time they are walking around the back they are tired & dont look as closely!lol)

Then I just paint away all day & hand out a TON of cards to all of the pregnant moms looking on! Then you also dont have to worry about the theme of the belly because generally if you are doing a freebie, you have the final say as to the theme. I take lots of photos of each one i do & email the moms the photos so they have a nice keepsake as a thank you for attending the event at my request. Another idea also is to have a draw at your table & tell all pregnant moms to fill out a ballot for a free tummy paint.. then you have a nice big list of pregnant moms to advertise to!! hehe

Oh.. LOVELY Tummy paint to!! (i get all caught up in trying to help that i forgot the subject!! lol)

That is so sweet. The baby is done very well.

Sooo Great!! I love it!!!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful, Beautiful Beautiful!!

lovely! what a sweet fairy!

So so beautiful!

How long did it take you?

Just gorgeous

Barefoot - thank you for those tips! That is a good point. The ladies coming in are going to be intent on grabbing the big items quickly and probably are not going to even notice me unless I have a few moms there to be attention-getters. I think they are getting a masseuse there to do prenatal massage - maybe I can get set up next to her and have a captive audience of the ladies getting a massage.

Helena - this one took about 2.5 hours, which is long for me, but this mama was chatty. And I spilled my water on her carpet halfway through, so there was some cleanup time involved! I do not recommend setting one's brush water on the floor by one's feet!

So gorgeous!! Good luck at your event!

you're welcome & yes.. its a great idea to set up near other services

I love it! Too cute!

Gorgeous bellypaint!!!

very nice. i like it
