One way to wile away the school holidays! Pop on a painted face and they amuse themselves for a good while, especially if one is a cat and one is a dog and they chase each other as nature intended. I've found Snazaroo paints very good (made to cosmetic grade), and there are plenty of face-painting books at the library. It's easier than it looks, and it's fun too. Audrey sits still but not for too long so I keep the face simple. Lucy is a little more patient and likes a more detailed face. Once you've done a few faces and know a few techniques you can easily make your own up.
Oh, they are adorable!
ReplyDeleteI cannot imagine how you come up with different things to do over the school holidays. I struggle just to come up with a different meal to cook each night.
I like Lucy's jammies. Good Mooorning!

Hi Belinda - the nightly meal, yes. Oh how I love it when I get dinner cooked for me...
ReplyDeleteNatasha - yes I did make Audrey's pants. The fabric is true vintage (I was told the unused fabric came with a receipt of about 1971 I recall - crazy!). They are her favourite pair. I hoped to do so much more for the shop before the renovation but there's just no time now. I hope you and your beautiful brood are well and happy.
This is soooo cute! Great job on the face painting. What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteOh how adorable. They look like they enjoyed themselves.
ReplyDeleteleon is obsessed with face-painting (ever since halloween), and requests a face almost every weekend. he also loves makeup and sparkly barrettes.
ReplyDeleteyour face painting skills far outstrip mine, though. my hands are too shaky, but leon is very very patient...
