Birthday Party at Jewels Craft shop!

I've done a santa's grotto for these people before, and they've asked me to come again for their shop's (Jewels Arts and Crafts shop) 4th birthday party. It dosen't really have a theme, but I'm thinking of having "Jewels" face, lol. I only have like 25 minutes so I have to be quick with this post!

I hope all is successful, and maybe get another job? I dunno! It's amazing, I haven't advertised at all, and I have had 5 jobs already! Not including one I was invited to do but couldn't because it was quite far away. I'm not allowed to advertise because I'm underaged, but I'm doing okay considoring.

Ooops, gotta go! I'll be late, I might have pics this time??!?!

Luv u lots, Ettie!

new job!

Hi all! Sorry I've been gone for, what, months? Hehe, anyways, new job! ANOTHER craft show, same th1ng, same place, April. THEME: Easter! Spring! coolio! Really must practise a rabbit face!

In fact, TWO new jobs, the carnival!!! yes, another one this year (I did say it was yearly, right?), THEME: Films and Musicals! There's space for High School Musical then, huh?

I LOVE MY LITTLE BUSINESS!!! I feel sooo grown up, :P!!!

I love you all, and please wish me all the best!

PS. Maria, my sister, was even sweeter! She sent me a personalised HAT! :), a white cap exactly the same design as the t-shirt with my logo and website address on it and all that jazz! good for working in the sun!

It's here... I have to face him... SANTA, in his GROTTO!!!

:-p, little twirp... Hi, it's me, I'm back (as usual), giving al the SLIGHTEST details of my life, well my face painting life, my life would be too embarressing.

Anyway, the day has come for me to Face Paint the little Victims in Santa's grotto, I will give them joy and hope before they set foot into that dark and scarey cave, where a fat man sits with a large spikey beard, and bent specticals, waiting to grab them and pull them onto his knee, where they will be forced to tell him ALL there wants and fears, whether they like it or NOT!!! teehee, sorry I've had a cup of cocoa and I feel a little more hyper then usual!

Back to the REAL life, I have been trying my very best to get some illustration onto my advertising board so the little kids can choose quicker and easier, and it will be more attractive, but it didn't work so i just HOPE I will be okay!

I am bringing my new camera I bought mainly for this purpose so HOPEFULLY I will at least have a pic of the stall.
Love you guys LOTS, keep following!

Today... I became a Tiger! Grrrrrr!

When Eva is busy (or just dosen't want to be painted) and I am not at an event, there is noone to paint... or is there? Yes, I am always there, no matter where I am, I am there, it's quite obvious. And whenever I feel like painting, I feel like being painted, it's terribly bizarre!!!

(BTW, that side picture, I just took two seconds before I stuck it on the page, You can't see the side so well in the front pic)

I think I'll name this week "Tiger Week", I have done three differant tigers, and I will be doing more, it might be named "Big Cat Week", because I want to do a lion and a new cat (my last cat is sooo outdated). Anyway, here is my new "Tiger". Enjoy, be Inspired, Love Faerie Art!

*Pink* tiger face!

I was absolutely DYING to paint another face today, and one of the faces I really wanted to paint was a pink tiger! After persuading Eva (my little sister, age nine) to let me paint her, we sat down and I began my magic...

Instructions:

1. Sponge white over eyelids (not too close to eye) in a peaky triangle, as shown. Sponge white on tip of nose.

2. Re-fill sponge with white paint. Sponge a white mustache above top lip under the nose, then sponge a white beard across the jaw and chin, joining to mustache.

3. Load other side of sponge with a bright, distinctive pink. Sponge the pink all around the face being careful not to blend into the "eye-white" but blend into "mustache" and "beard".

4. Load round brush with black. With flicking movements, slightly outline the "Eye-White" triangles, as shown. Dab brush sideways to create the "nose-stripes". Carefully, in order not to go into the nose, cover top and front of nose.

5. Re-load brush with black. Place brush in centre of forehead and wiggle upwards. Do the same instructions on each side of the stripe. Draw "nose-to-top lip" line and outline lips (don't colour lips in as it is unhygienic). Paint "Whisker-Dots".

6. Re-fill brush with black. Outline muzzle slightly with flicking movements. Paint rest of stripes.

7. Re-fill brush again. press brush sideways to achieve the loop designs on the side of the jaw.

You're done! Use a beautiful, distinctive Pink to bring out the change of colours, pale pink or soft pink dosen't really stand out much. Add flowers, tiny fangs, swirls (in place of stripes), or stars.

Please comment!

I loved every minute of it!

Yesterday (that craft fair I've been going on about for ages), was an absolute success! I loved every minute of it! There was this one adorable little boy (about 3 or 4 years old) who was with his mum who was having a craft stall, he wanted his face done but couldn't decide what to have. When he decided a tiger his mum said he couldn't have a full face because he would smudge the paint on his nice shirt, so I gave him a tiger 'mask' instead. I had never really done a mask before so I had to revert back to all the tutorials I have watched on Youtube about painting animal masks, and think quickly. I started off by sponging white around the eyes, then a sponged a little yellow around the white. Then I sponged orange around the yellow and on the bridge of the nose. I outlined the white eyes with black, flicking my wrist to create a fur effect. I painted artistic black stripes around the face and finished it off by dabbing one spot of red-gold glitter on each stripe. It looked so cute! I also tried two butterflies out of my snazaroo booklet that I had never attempted before, they were also successful! I painted roughly 9 faces (the craft fair only had about 12 kids come). I also ended up with getting two more job opportunities, one at a santa's grotto, and one possibility at a farm during easter, but since the farm one is quite a ways away I am having to think about it. Luv you followers lots, Ettie!

Le... GASP! Thank-you Maria!!!

I have been wanting one of these for so long... and then... I got it! My very own personalised T-shirt!

I can't wait to get out there all Pro-and-Good-Looking (:-P)! better practise. love you followers lots (even if you haven't registered to follwo this blog).
