Hi, I'm Ettie. I'm a thirteen year old Face Painter.I've made this blog so I can show my work and you can keep up to date with what I have been doing and what I have done so far. I Face Paint, and have painted at friends parties, and even at the yearly Carnival for the area. On Saturday, the 13th of December, I have been invited to face paint at a santa's grotto. Ooh, exciting! Luv, Ettie!

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!
