Show and Tell September 2013!

lets see what everyone has been up to this month

i got my one strokes in and this is what i have been playing around with




i have a festival coming up and these are some of the designs i will be using...the boys in the family were not up for getting face painted today for more "boyish" designs so ill have to get them in the next couple of day lol

coolio!

My tiger based off Lisa Joy Young's Rainbow tiger, Used my mermaid pixie cake from silly farm instead of a rainbow cake.


My tiger from the snazaroo book... leaving it shown from the "good" side, I butchered the other side.


and I think I figured out one of my hang ups on sponging and lines, I pay to much attention to my eyebrow. and that the bulk of my sponges are two harsh and stiff... snaz red... the pink ones that came with the snaz kit are kinda awesome.

Nice work Natasha and Russett. I haven't posted In a while, every time I go to add a few I end up catching up on all the posts and then forget to add photos.

only 2 days painting, but been spending the whole time while my supplies have been trickling in watching videos, and was rather active in the Arts community (photographer) down in San Antonio, not the same as doing, but real world watching and actually seeing the texture and stroke can make a little difference sometimes.

An arm of flowers, working on flowers and dots, have a friend coming over Tuesday and is planning on wearing what I do to her out to dinner (casual gathering of friends), so I want something.


my attempt at a wuppie, today was just playing with yellow and red, sorry for the focus, used a kabuki sponge, don't have any daubers yet.

Well... digging through my photos, I couldn't find very many pics that were worth sharing... and none of those had release forms signed.  But, I just got done with an event yesterday.  We did it pro-bono as it was a community event (Spirit of Muldoon Picnic) to support moving forward with trying to get the Municipality of Anchorage to dedicate a strip of greenbelt as parkland instead of sectioning it up and reselling it as yet more unneeded commercial/residential real estate along Muldoon Road just south of the Muldoon Mall near the Debarr intersection (for those that are somewhat familiar with Anchorage roads in Alaska).

I only took pictures of people (or their parents/guardians) who signed waivers, and some of the work did not turn out nearly as well as I had hoped.

One of my cohorts also slipped in a few pics on the same waiver... I'm kinda jealous of Emily's work,

Hi everyone. I come back later for replying on all your posts but now i'm only gonna show my two little monsters....





Where would you guys put the nose of Sully??? I'm not satisfied with that one. But they're cute

And the matching outfits...







And tonight my daughter is going to wear her flowerfairydress...

Nice work, I like it.

Nice work guys!

The monsters inc ones are fun, why were they all dressed up though?

Looks like there's some party going on, on school?
Because otherwise in the Netherlands kids only dress up with Carnaval!
I love the costumes and facepaint!!

l!zzie and DannyB We had Lampegietersavond. Don't know how to translate. It's a annually traditional festival in Veenendaal in the middle of the Netherlands. At the third monday of September they used to put oil in the oil lamps in the wool and sigar factory so they could work after sunset. Every year we celebrate this day. In the afternoon they can go to school all dressed up and they have a little party and walk around our neighbourhood with lampions/lantern they made at school. In the evening we have a parade with a fanfare and all the kids hold a lampion/lantern with a light in it (we used to put a candle in the lantern but often we had a lantern on fire). After the parade we drink hot chocolate with a cinnamon biscuit.

gnelson nice work. love the eye of your my little pony design!!!

Russet nice work.

Natasha love your butterfly. And your dolphin is awesomely cute!!!

Gorgeous photos! Love the little schoolchildren. :-D

I've been trying to design a feathery mask recently, and got this far - it's only a draft at the moment, I'm in the process of refining it and making it quicker.


Also, this might make you laugh. I was in pain so my very, very patient best friend (he was visiting from Ireland) told me to paint him however I wanted in order to take my mind off it. This was the result:


Tee hee!

Kammy xx

Oh, and I hope it's OK for me to put a couple of back paints in here - I know they're not on the face, so if I've broken any rules, just tell me and I'll delete!

Awesome back art, I love the flower mask and the feathers are awesome. Work has been kicking my butt so I have not been practicing as much as I should be. Have a party Saturday and many people willing to sit under my brush so I will have practice and pictures to post after the party.

Awesome work Kammy!!! Love the feather mask and the wings!!! Gorgeous.

Greg nice superheroes
Live the back art Kammy, might have to try my hubby's back now the weather is warming up over here, if there's sports on the tele he prob wont even notice me painting him, that mask is beautiful
Sneezle- cute faces, as for scully's nose you cold prob put it a bit up higher on the face, I googled him and there is a bit of a gap between his nose and mouth, but its great the way it is.

Nice Designs Kammy,

I tried my first sugar skulls yesterday, inspired by Vinnie, Daizy and Kate Monroe.

It didn't really turn out how I wanted it to, but I think it was a pretty good start...

Thanks for the kind words, everyone.   

DannyB - your first sugar skull is far better than mine was!  You've got that whole "pretty yet spooky" thing sussed.  Love it.

Kammy x

You guys are so talented! Love the pictures! Here are a few samples of what I've been doing. If-a big IF- I can figure out how to upload Pictures.

Danny, love in your sugar skull, I still haven't tried one of these.
Col lovely and a cute little spider
