Face Painting at the Henson's

Our dear friends, the Hensons, had a carnival themed birthday party for their 2 youngest children. They asked me if I would face paint for the party. Me, loving makeup AND loving to paint thought that sounded like a BLAST! And, ....... it was. :) I am thankful for the opportunity to be a blessing at their party. Turns out face painting isn't hard at all!

There were many designs for the children to choose from, but they all seemed to like a certain few the best. The dolphin design (which I didn't get many photos of), the butterfly design and the tiger/cheetah/leopard. It was so much fun, I hope I get to do that again sometime!!

I brought images on my laptop to use and copy. The children chose an image and I just duplicated it. This little girl wanted to be a pirate. I'm painting on her pirate bandana here.

Now she has her eyepatch and bandana... next is the outline for the bandana.

And finally, one awesome scar that looks not quite healed up yet. :)

The beginning stages of a leopard. The final result for this young man is 2 photos below.

This is Gabriel ... he was a tiger. I painted him at home for practice. It is amazing how far that paint goes! It doesn't take much at all to do a whole face. He loved growling and scaring people.

This is the first stages of the dolphin scene.
