Jewish Star

Getting ready to Facepaint at Holiday Parties.  I just dreamed up this Eye Design

I can use it like this in the center of the forehead: ~ perhaps with something going on on the eyelids:   



And I can use it like this on the corner of one (or both) eyes:

Holiday Party

Holiday Party Entertainment.  By that my Client means Chanukah and Christmas Celebrations for his Office.  Two Holidays.











Feels like there's at least one Spiderman at each Party.  Any type of Party, and Spiderman shows up.  He must be very popular:





and the Party continues.  This girl wanted to be a Present:















This one was interesting.  I had designed it quickly at the end of a Chanukah Party last year.  Because a woman wanted just a quick Something when I was supposed to be packing up already.  I had quickly made just a few lovely strokes, and called it The Eternal Flame, something that felt right for Chanukah Face Painting.  So when a man came by at this Holiday Party (not Jewish), and requested the Eternal Flame from my list of choices, I told him that it represents Keeping the Flame of Hope Alive.

  It felt like a beautiful thing that this man wanted one. But I just had a general idea about it, so I looked it up on Wikipedia while preparing this Post.  Here's a quote from Wikipedia at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_flame

 The eternal flame was a component of the Jewish religious rituals performed in the Tabernacle and later in the Temple in Jerusalem, where a commandment required a fire to burn continuously upon the Outer Alter.  Modern Judaism continues a similar tradition by having a sanctuary lamp, the ner tamid, always lit above the ark in the synagogue.  After World War II, such flames gained meaning as a reminder of the six million Jews killed in the Holocaust.  EndQuote.




After the Party, I saw the man (still happily wearing his Eternal Flame) in the Subway Station.

 Still some more designs I created at this Holiday Party.  Some of them are very simple, and I like that ~ Sort of the Sumi-e of Face Painting.  If it's painted skillfully, that's all that's needed:












Happy Holiday Everybody ~
