This design made it's first appearance within the pages my sketchbook while I was doodling. You never know what's going to come out of your pen or pencil, and you should keep a sketchbook to catch those ideas before they get away. 

It's time for another glamorous face paint design from Shelley Wapniak! This time, we're giving the tallest land animal, the giraffe, the spotlight! Enjoy and learn how to make a "Glamimal Giraffe!"

If you're weary of pink and purple princess designs, try one of the gorgeous Global split cakes for some glowing colors with this princess design featuring Global's Sydney split cake. 

What's not to admire in Karen Harvey-Huwen's amazing floral designs? Each colorful example of her work is a lovely combination of spontaneity and skill, so when the Swirly Girlies collaboration group I'm a member of chose a challenge with Karen's style as our inspiration, I had a wonderful time giving it a go. 

Who said raccoons can't be cute and pretty? Yes, they can be a pain at our backyard some times but that doesn't make them less cute for a face paint design...especially for Shelley! 

The first time a child asked me for an owl design, my mind went blank, and I couldn't even remember what an owl looked like. Having enjoyed some of Barbara Breitung's cute owl designs and tutorials, though, I thought I'd give owls another try, but with Mehron Intense powders.

If you struggle with butterflies, I hope this design with elements inspired by several of my favorite artists, such as Annie Reynolds and Denise Cold, will be something you enjoy painting.
