Christmas/Holiday designs 2012

Wonderful job Miss Ronnie!!!
Love, love, love your gingerbread, because it's full face, and all shiny!

Miss Ronnie - that gingerbread man is AWESOME!!!

Here's a few more photos...




(No tongue on Abominable snowman (from Rudolph cartoon) because my son had had enough and wouldn't let me paint one more stroke!)

I had made an own design, and this week I tried making it on my face. But it wasn't as nice as I thought it would be. I really do'nt like it that much and then I saw Lisa Joys design and thought : " I still have so much to learn AND practise, pffffeew!"

My quick Christmas Half-fly on my board : )

That one looks a lot nicer Emkensuri!

Ronnie, your grinch is creeping me out, but I love your abominable snowman!

emkensuri, Nice! I like offering half butterflies with a small design on the other
eye, so quick! Very jealous of your perfect dots, they're huge. What's your secret?

rthling, Wicked cute butterfly, it went straight into my inspiration folder! I was wondering how your white "icing" stayed white instead of turning tan. I love my white starblend can't wait to justify buying more!

The snowman is from last year... that's my son under all that Wolfe White, which I slapped on in waaaay too many layers - and he hasn't let me paint him since cause it felt so yucky to him.

The Grinch is a girl in his marching band that they call Grumpy as a joke. I asked her what she wanted to be and she said "The Grinch... and not the Jim Carrey one, either!"

I had to paint it from the little cartoon picture on her phone and it sure wasn't easy with these old lady eyeballs of mine.

Actually, it didn't turn tan at all. I think I used my TAG white. I'm glad you like it!

Creabella, thank you! I love using a flat or angled brush for a quick butterfly edge.
Misha, thank you! I just spray my wolfe white several times and dip in my dotter wand : )

That's what I do for the holidays... add santa hats to Batguy, Hey Kitty and a few others. For Spiderdude, I use green lines for the webbing.

Miss Ronnie, love the snowman...for some reason I just can't "see" the grinch.... don't know why. Hubs can, dear dtr can, but I can't. I'm weird like that with some designs though. When I paint my own kids with some really cute designs I can't "see" them either I think it's because I know their face so well it overpowers the paint.

Love this thread!

Angela, can you see him better with this photo? How about if you squint your eyes a little...?

A REINDEER BUTTERFLY???!!! I <3 u, Denise. It's going in my inspiration folder too. I smiled so big when I saw it!

That Gingerbread butterfly and Santa Skull are also pretty awesome! I could see those being a hit.

Miss Ronnie==do you have a pic of spidey guy with green?
great idea to add santa hats~

Sorry, amylady...no pic. I've done it at public gigs where the line is too long to stop for a photo op...

I've actually done Spiderdude with green webbing and a sprig of holly, too.

I tried to make a christmassy tiger, what do you think of it?

Ronnie I Love that Gingerbread Man....what paint did you use? Or did I not read? Hehe

Coral, that is adorable!

So cute! I went back and read all of last year's posts too, such great talent.

Jobena, I believe I used a combination of TAG Old Gold and TAG Copper.

Coral, such a masculine design love it!!
