Freehand Glitter Tattoo

Wow ~ I had felt real glamorous in these high heels.  But after I added the Freehand Glitter Tattoo to fit around my ankle, I was amazed.  I feel sooo beautiful!

This Tattoo had to be handled in 2 applications.  To keep the colors separate.

Personality

People.  It's great to be involved with them.  They're so

Real.

Here are some People that I painted at a recent Holiday Party:

End of Party

Times Up.  I gotta go. Holiday Season.  I'm expected at another Party. (and I'm not mentioning this, but your Host only paid for x-number of hours.  Times up.)

 Well, there's still just a few more children?  How about a quick thing on your hands.

I want that. And that. And and that

This little girl was so cute.
"And what would you like?" I asked as she sat down.
Her Mother said "How about the Mermaid Eyes".
Okay.  I start painting.
"And this" she says, pointing to a color on my pallette that has nothing to do with the mermaid eyes.
"Oh lalala", I say, as I continue painting.  We'll see what will happen.
"I didn't have this yet" ~ The little girl is  pointing to dark red glitter.
Oh, ummmm "Oooh, wait until you see.  So beautiful," I said.
"And this"  ~ that's some gold glitter.
"And this.  I want this."  She's pointing to just about everything on my pallette, one color at a time.

The Mother is about to move on with the girl, as we adults might ignore a child's different-type-of-understanding.  She did like her Mermaid Eyes when we showed her the mirror.

But she's still calmly saying, "I didn't get this yet.  And that."  Lol.  She keeps pointing to the glitter-glue that takes a few minutes to dry.  Not like the almost immediately dry face-paint that I use on little children.

So I said to the Mother, "Do you think she can handle it?  So young, she might not understand that she's not supposed to touch it for a few minutes.  But if you think she can handle it, I can make a quick ring for her."

I just put a red dot in the center of a gold band, added a little black to the edge, and voila ~ look at how this little girl knew to admire her 'ring'.

Jewish Holiday Celebrations !

People have so much Fun with my Face Painting at the Festivities.
Hiring a Professional Party Artist can make all the difference as to whether or not they honestly Feeeel Celebration.

I've done Face Painting at Chanukah, Purim, Tu B'Shevat, Yom HaAtzmaut, Simchas Torah, and more.

Choose Only Four

Oh Dear.  My Agent only wants Five Party Samples.  I chose:

I chose the dragon because that's such a wow picture. Not only attracts people who feel like they're too old to have fun, but it is also easy for me to paint quickly.

I chose the little girl with the roses because the roses seem to attract people who want to feel beautiful.

I chose the spider because I feel so pleased with it.  I finally got some strokes that really make my spiders special ~ something about crossing the lines at the leg joints.

And I chose the heart-headband because, well, that's a pretty one.  And I have to get out of here.  I have an appointment at the gym today.

One more. Oh.  I chose Frankie Stein.  Because Halloweentown is Current.

Agent Samples

My Agent wanted me to send him some of my Face-Painting Samples.  So people would have an idea of what I do at Parties.  So what to send?  What to send?  I put together the following pictures.  Some are already posted on this blog.  Others are new ones that haven't been posted yet:

One of the employees even wanted me to paint the Logo from John Scott's Surf Shop on his face.

And one of the guests wanted simple blue and orange stripes to show spirit at the game she planned on going to later.

Might as well post some more of the great people from this event.  The confident boy who said his mother was going to give him half a wig for the other side of his half-face.  And how he reminded me to fuzz-out the red slash on his friend, 'The Joker's', face.  And and .....

Me Too

Here is another girl from that Fun Event.  I just adored her.  She started with the Tropical Scene on her face, then kept coming back for more.  Some kids do that, and I feel sorry when I have to turn them away when I'm at a big event and it's only fair that each child get at least one before anybody gets a 2nd.  Or a 3rd....

 So like I said, I felt very happy at this comfortable event.  It felt like everybody was comfortable even though it was an open event at a restaurant ~ John Scotts Surf Shack in Westhampton.  The venue made the people feel like they were 'home'.

And here's another Wonderful Girl ~ she wanted the "I Heart Dogs", the Blue and White Cheek Star, and the Necklace too ~ just like the other girl dreamed up.  But, lol, I had to adapt the necklace to This girls collar.  And I had to adapt the dogs to the size of Her arm.  Can't be exactly the same, but they still felt 'connected'.   They were just so happy.  And so was I.  What great stuff to be involved in.

Fun with the Kids

My Agent asked to see 5 photos from a recent event.  That's great ~ it got me right on the case ~ I usually don't get up to posting the photos for a long time ~ many of them don't even get here at all.

I like to remember the people I meet.  Especially when it's from such an Enjoyable day.  This was an outdoor event in the Autumn ~ the weather was surprisingly perfect.  We were all so comfortable and comfortable with each other.  The kids were so happy and involved with the Face-Painting.

But, now, which photos to send him.  I chose these:

but I felt a need to also include a group picture ~ to show the age of the 'person with the beard'.  My face-painting almost fooled me when I looked at his photo.  Oh I like doing this.  We all had Fun.
