sorry there all out of order!! dont know how that happened!!! lol grrrrr...

I had an idea for this right away but, as always, put it off till the last minute. In the mean time, I practiced that violin quite a bit! Suzy wanted something musical and she loves to play her violin. She also liked my split cakes (which I took to mean she liked the rainbow one. All the little girls do!)

I started with a bit of silver around one eye and down my cheek. Then I took my 1.5 inch flat brush and homemade rainbow cake and painted a fancy kind-of swirl down the side of my face. (Boy, it's hard painting on yourself. With a flat brush. And a rainbow.) Then with my black I put a treble clef sign by my eye and five little teardrops (for the five lines in a staff - Suzy you are lucky I know music theory too!). I painted some notes around that (OK it's even harder painting on yourself in BLACK!!). Then I added some white swirls and teardrops on top (that hid some mistakes but produced others but I think you get the idea. Again, painting backwards on myself)

Now paint a violin on the forehead and nose. I used some skin tone paint to draw a line down the middle so I would have a guide. Then I outlined the shape of the violin, filled in with brown, added gold highlights (painting across a nose is hard too!) and the black accents. White on top for more highlights and to hide any other mistakes... some gold glitter and... TADA!!!


And as a finishing touch you can add the bow to a finger so they can play their little violin!

Also, my first idea was to paint the violin on my arm but I realized that no matter how I held my arm I would end up with a twisted violin. Here's a shot of that...

A fun idea but I think doing it on the nose turned out good. And no twisting.

This is for my challenge I needed too make my look like it went through a glass window .Had sooo much fun doing it . Ben-Nye Latex , Sillyfarm Wonder Pallet , Mehron Blood , stilla Pigment and yes real glass . step 1step 2
My face is sooooooo STICKY

Wow! Amazing entries!!
Busy day today!

LOVE your violin AMAZING work .....

Y'all are seriously hard-core!
Okay. Lest it seem like I asked for a challenge, then chickened out, here is mine....

Like ummm.. I wanted something like with a horse... but I like the colors pink and green. OH and also yellow is my favorite color too... And I want like a happy horse... not a sad one. OK!!

Suzy knows this challenge was hard for me too do . Not that I couldn't do it but emotionally hard for me . Thank you Suzy .

Okay... so it is June 30th... I'm making dinner for mom and I, and I have to get my studio set-up for 9 a.m. tomorrow, and I have to style a wig before I go to bed....

Sorry, not going to get my "Rhubarb" design done. I honestly was going to do it today, but got involved in editing every page of my website which took all day...

I wanted to show you my preliminary design anyway. I'm not going to have time to do the step by step shots, so I know this won't count for the challenge, but I wanted to share my odd request anyway. So here is my "Candy Butterfly":







We live about an hour - 90 minutes from Hershey, PA, so I wanted to include some candy from that major "local" landmark. The little flag on the top of the Hershey's Kiss reminded me of a Butterfly's Antenna. My Daughter suggested the body be a peppermint stick and then I used more peppermints to be the spots on the butterfly. The "Flowers" are obviously lollipops with glitter to make them sparkle like candy glass. I had fun designing this. I just wish I had more time to break it down into steps and to do it on a human, not just my practice head!

yeah....I waited until the last minute.....ugh!
Didn't I learn anything from going to college? LOL!

My challenge was "something really bright, with neon colors... Like a mask maybe?? And I like cheetah prints"

OK, I used a homemade cake of DFX neon purple, Wolfe Sea Green (Turquoise) & DFX Neon Yellow, Kryolan Bronze, Wolfe Black & Loew-Cornell #4, & Loew-Cornell #2

Paint on the base:

Add outline with Wolfe Black and #4 brush.

Add Cheetah spots w/ #2 brush

add gold centers to the spots with Kryolan Bronze


TA-DA!~

I am loving the asymmetrical mask!!!!!

WOW! This page is full of amazingness! I know a lot of things that will be going into my inspiration folder. That mask & Violin are GORGEOUS!

And that FX work with the glass is crazy good!

OMG EVERYONE, great job!!!!! JUST, I love it.... Linda, totally digging that mask!!

Shannon... I would still sometime in the future like to see your rhubarb design!!

Thank you Suzy it was fun I was at my store when I was doing this .... It was so funny I had customers walking in and out of the store all day it was cool they know I do face painting and makeup

All the submissions are awesome! I got the donkey challenge but I didnt get to finish I was painting an Eeyore full face

Sorry! I just didn't get time to do mine... between face painting gigs and getting ready for 18 family members to invade my house this week, there just wasn't time! I would LOVE to try it on my own... simply because I can't believe Suzy gave me something so perfect for me. Mine was to paint Vincent Van Gogh's Starry Nights in pinks and purples! That is one of my favorite artists and favorite paintings so I couldn't believe it when she gave me that one, but I just ran out of time

Everyone did such a fantastic job!!

That sounds totally fun! can't wait to see what you come up with...

Sorry, I missed the deadline for mine as well... My mom just had minor surgery & is getting tested for neurological stuff (memory issues) & they hubby threw his back... So my life has belonged to everyone but me for a few months....

So, the Zamboni face paint design will have to wait

Zamboni! oh that's funny

I just can't stay away. I come, I see, I practice, I get inspired. Thanks to all of the artist who showcase their talents. It serves as an inspiration to those of us who are a year or less in the industry. I Live!

OMG....that looks so real. I had to watch how you did it to find out! GREAT job!!!!!
