Arm Painting

Face Painting. I also do a lot of work on Arms. Sometimes even legs, backs, or chests.

Two friends put their painted arms together for this photo:

Church Carnival

And this one too. I like this butterfly too. I make all different shapes, all different colors. When nobody tries to manage me, when they leave it up to the Artist,
I try to design something that looks goodd for the model and his/her clothes.

And here's a new design I'm working on. I call them Fantasy Creatures. But every time I've made one so far, somebody calls it a 'dog'. I guess that's okay. But it is the pretties little dog I ever drew.

Lol - I still don't know how to edit my posts here.
Once I publish it, it's here to stay. Just the way
I wrote it. I wish I included the following butterfly
in the previous link. Because the girl's Mother
wanted something small, and the girl wanted a
full-face butterfly. So the mother quietly told
me to do what the girl wants, but make it a little
smaller....that she wouldn't know that she wasn't
really getting what she wanted. Both Mother and
Daughter (and Artist) were pleased with what I painted. But really now. Do you really think this would be easier to wash off than the others that I previously posted???
(That was the Mother's concern.)

BTW, I use make-up quality Face Paints. They wash off very easily with soap and water. Sometimes it just takes an extra 30 Seconds of Gentle washing with regular soap.
Wow. I am getting so good at working this blog.
Did any of you notice that I even changed the background color
and text color. AND searched/tried and changed the font and size.

I'll post a couple more butterflies that I painted
about a week ago at a Church Carnival:

Eureka !

Yes. It was the html code that I had to highlight at photobucket
in order to put the photo right in with the message. Success!
And I figured this one out myself!

Frankly, though, while I'm glad I didn't have to 'steal' friends'
knowledge, and I didn't have to pay a specialist, I feel a litl
lonely to know that I can figure out a computer frustration on my own.

When I was a kid in Summercamp, every year each Division put on a play.
One year, I actually landed a litl speaking part in 'Funny Girl'.
One of the songs that the wonderful beautiful whatever that winner was
sang was
"People. People who need people. Are the lUUUUckieSt Peeeeeople
intheworld."
I'm thinking that it's true. That when I needed help, I kept connections
with other people. And the depth of the friendships depended on the intensity
of my need and on the willingness of the friend.

"One person. One very special person. Says you were half
now you're whole. No more hunger and thirst. But first be
a person who needs people. People who need people
Are the Luckiest People

in
the
world."

It's so against myself-reliant nature. As much as possible,
I try to be self-reliant. And then I pick and choose, I decide
Who IIIIII am willing to help.

This is so interesting. Makes me understand about helping
and makes me willing to take a chance in asking for help sometimes.
Sometimes. When it will make a difference in my heart.
Uhoh. Looks like I didn't remember what I did.
Maybe it was the rectangle labeled 'html code' that worked?

Success !

Oh My Goodness! It worked!
I kept reading, kept trying different things.
And I think that this is what I did to put a photo
directly in with my message.

First I uploaded it to Photobucket (where I'm Beingly).
then I highlighted the rectangle labeled 'direct link'.
And I was able to copy/paste it right here. Like this:

Figuring out this Blog

I'll try it again:

Okay. I'm going to try it again.
I'm going to try to put a link from PhotoBucket
Right here. To see if I can get the pictures
to go along with the posts.

Blogging

Okay. Okay. I'll post at this blog.
I get so many good pictures to post,
but I procrastinate here - because
I never figured out how to have the
correct photos line up with what I write.

I've been building up my Balloon-Twisting
skills. So I'll post some of those -
you haven't seen anything like that here.

And I'll be a-posting some more Face-Paintings
here soon. Even though I've painted many
of these designs before, it seems different
on each face - different size foreheads
and different hair. Different people and
different personalities. And frequently
slight differences in the designs - would
yellow/orange flowers look good with that?sort
of questions that I ask myself as I paint.
