facepainting the kids and shading faces

This week has been all about faces for me.
I shaded faces galore for the Petit Dolls and I finished painting the kids this afternoon with facepaint.
I watched the musical CATS with my daughter this week when my Son was having his dress rehersal for Drama class performance, so she really wanted to be a Jellicle Cat ! and well, an 8 year old boy only wants to be dangerous, so he chose to be a vampire.....and pulled a face to go with the act !

I always knew I was a dreamer:


Teachers; parents and just-people have always told me .....


...I like to float on this little cloud of mine...

New page in my Art Journal !


Yesterdag I went with my son's class to visit the museum. They have a topic this term about the history and indigenous people of New Zealand, so they were going to find out more about that. I got really inspired by the traditional Maori Moko (= Tattoo) So back at home, having brought the kids safe back to school......I grabbed my Art journal and made a quick entry with collage and loads of Maori colour and curly stuff. Hope you like it, it gives me the right feeling, allthough I want to revisit the Maori Art again, 'cause it's so inspirational.

Oh, and another thing....after my son's rugby game this morning, we're gonna wash up and see the matinee show of STOMP !
>>looking forward to it !!!!!!
