Since I still can't post all the face-painting images, I shall comfort myself with a teaser:

Thanks so much, M! This are going pretty well for me, aren't they? I hadn't really realized it, but I'm doing a lot and I'm not as tired and depressed as I used to be. Good times! Seems like you're doing good too!

Yes, I'm totally excited about the house - I'm sure it'll be a theme for several weeks, hehe. :)

you are too beautiful! hey you bought one of those tiaras at faerieworlds too! but i sold mine at spoutwood because i dont wear it anymore. i might get another. more elaborate one if i make it this year :)

i am planning to buy some snazaroo paints very soon and go take private facepainting classes from a local clown! facepainting is definately not my strong point!

Thanks so much! Yes, the crown had a little pink flower but I trimmed it right off - I just wanted the purple beads, hehe.

Snazaroo is my favorite! They are wonderful. I find that practice is really helpful - painting on yourself is harder than painting on others, so if you're willing to just sit and work on yourself until you like what you get, and then practice with speedy designs for kids, you get better really fast. Also, a good brush makes a WORLD of difference. I got two pricy-but-good ones at an art supply store and I almost never use anything but those (although the little brushes that come with the Snazaroo palates are a close 2nd favorite). I'm sure classes would be great, too!

Pretty! Did you paint the fairy on your chest yourself as well? Upside down, and close to your face? Dude, that takes mad skillz.

[swirlscape]

Yes, yes I did - I used a mirror though. I had to hold the necklace in my mouth while I did it, lulz.

So you did it backwards. Crazy. I can't work out which way I think would be more difficult!
