4th of July Party

Oh! Looking through more of the photos near the recent post about painting at the Little People's Convention - Ahah! That was the 4th of July! I remember now - most of the paintings were adapted for the holiday. All different people, some suffering from their conditions and some just enjoying life - it was interesting for me to be with this group:

Football Face Painting theme- Bonuslink catalogue

A Football Face Painting theme was requested in conjunction with the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa. Preparations were made in the studio for this Bonuslink catalogue. The boys worked dedicatedly on improving their kicks, acting skills & facial features. Impressed that they were such pros at such a young age.
Great work, guys! (to the football talents & the team at the studio for the end result). Will update with a photo of the catalogue soon.

Henna & Face Painting

Adults awaited getting theirHenna Tattoos (Mango/Paisley & Butterfly) & children excitedly queued up for Face Painting (Snow Queen, Love, flowers) at a birthday party.

Face Painting for Cheerleaders

Woke up real early for this event & did Face Painting for the Cheerleaders. This look was adapted from the Harlequin Mask.

Stencils were used for the rose design on the cheek (Japanese pigment ink used, waterproof so that it lasts longer even in the hot sun or when perspiring, but not rub proof).

Little People

I painted at a Convention of Little People several times over the past few years. Of course, I've had experiences with little people in my life - they do the same things that I do, but this is a different experience. It's a time when the Majority of the people are little. And it's an eye-opener for me as to how many of them are in wheel-chairs, how many of them, even the very young ones, undergo many surgeries and pains. I'm so fortunate that my jobs bring me to meet so many wonderful people:











To give you an idea of the day, here is a picture of a girl that's about 4 or 5 years old. Can you see how big the regular chair is for her?





And here are some more people that I painted. Even if I paint the same design, the experience is different for each person who gets it:
