Hey Belle! Good to see you again. So glad to hear you are getting gigs...and ones that pay even!
Nice job on your face for your daughter!

i found the Show and Tell Valerie. I think i have difficulties uploading here with my mac. it was not problem in the gallery.

You are all so great! i can't believe your are Newbie.

Thank you for welcoming me

Valerie this is from the same Wolfe's book as your Chameleon.
Talking about fat head!!!

Hi to All
i am so sorry to have just burst in this way. Have been trying since yesterday to figure out how to upload pictures and i thought it was not going to work again. But it did!
i am a mum of an 8 years old girl, and been painting at home for the past two years. Practicing on my daughter first, until she got fed up and i am on me now.
Thanks to the warm welcome from Valerie A, i found courage to join you all if you will have me.
i read through some 11 pages like a breeze, you are all so interesting and talented.
can't wait to finish the other 8.

Thanks Valerie! I love seeing all the new post, but hate not visiting regularly.
Lately the gigs I get are all theme ones, so I find myself making new boards for them.
Thanks to the forum I found the foam faces @ Michaels and also foam sheets at dollar store so mostly doing a simple designs and trying to keep it simple since I still need to get my speed up.
This is a pic from the Western theme fall fest and the most requested...


I also have a party coming up for Hannukah so far this is what I have:

Valerie,

i am not sure if you are still waiting for these books. i have them and ordered them from Silly Farm.

Thank you Belle
Can i call you this way?

Hi Paola

Playing time.....


(the picture is not really clear, but it was the best one I've made and my eyes are clean now)

Hi Daphne,

This is gorgeous!
Love it!!
is that you in the picture? how did you manage to paint a dolphin in it!!!

yeah that's me..
Took a small sized flat brush to make the onestroke dolphin (oke... first one didn't work so I had to paint over it and then made a new one with better colors) It's just the "simple" onestroke dolphin, a small version.

WOW,

and all this with one eye?
great one!!!

yeah, now I also now that left is my dominant eye!!!
Left closed is harder to paint than right closed.

ah ah ah ah!!
you did great job on the on the left eye too!!!

wait did you mean less dominant eye was painting?
on the picture the imagine is reflected opposite.

Left is with the palmtree and the love couple
Painting that one made me see the depth less (Kammy....I know how you normally feel painting)

Wow Daphne!! I cannot believe that you painted your own eyelids!! that is amazing. They look great! Also hello Paola, so glad that you have jumped right in! This is a great little place to be, feel free to post as many pictures as you want, we would love to see them.

Isn't it a pain?? Then try closing both eyes and painting over one of them. That's what I have to do when I'm painting my left eye.

I love your design - so cute and pretty!

Here's how I look, as I type this:

How is it that whenever I paint my nose, it itches and itches, even though I have no allergic reaction to any of my paints???? There's obviously an invisible gremlin that follows face painters around, urging them to scratch their newly-painted areas.

Thank you Sarah!!
will do.
I would like to participate in the contest.... just because is scary and i think i am not good! And because i like to face my worst fears.
Hope a lot of you will follow because one thing is sure ...."you are all soooo talented".
Love you all

Wowzer!! Love it! You are one talented lady Daphne.

Paola, just like Belle, I'm partial to peacocks...and yours is beautiful! Thanks for the tip on the book, but I finally found it on Amazon for a decent price ($17 including postage)...and it even comes with a spiral binding so it will lie flat. I haven't gotten it yet and eagerly check the mail each day. I already got the TAG antique bronze green pearl and the other one Kammy did her mask in and I'm just itching to get going on it!

Belle, you are so creative coming up with you own designs for the Hanukkah party. Your little western design is so cute, with that sparkly hat! I'm so glad you had that western party and asked for design ideas, because shortly after you asked for design ideas, my friend asked me to come do her preschool/kindergarten class with Native American designs. I would have been lost without all the forum help.

Daphne!!!!!!!! Whoa girl! Those eyelids are REALLY fabulous!! I just can't imagine trying to paint that small...and on your own face!!! Keep up the good work.

Kammy, Glad to see you feeling a bit better and back with us! Missed you! That is such a nice cheatah you did! love those spots with the golden centers. Is the yellow just regular TAG? or Snaz? or???
