Day 39

Phew! Sorry for the delay. Septic failure, yard getting dug up, engineers, sick, bathroom renov. and major work project. So, i have had zero dabble time til yesterday. I used tried the TAG sampler that I last posted about. Had fun making it- used a few gems from AC Moore. I read an interview with marcela and she said to try using colors side by side that you would not normally- experiment! So....I put blue next to my orange (would make brown so i normally keep these colors clear from each other). I really liked these 2 side by side. I think i might have to buy some pearl paint- a few colors are calling my name.....

Day 38

Karen from the www.facepaintshop.com sent me a sampler of TAG paint for our Guild to play with at the april jam- which was very nice of her :)

I compared the colors to DFx and Paradise. I really like the TAG a lot- esp, the berry wine adn teal- neither DFX or Paradise have a teal that is so vibrant and the berry wine is a totally unique color- similar to wild orchid but much prettier and lighter. I am very interested in the pearls colors. If anyone has tried them ,please comment! I would love to know how they are. I was told they are less sheer. The pearl lilac looks beautiful.

Day 37

My set-up. I tweaked and down-sized thanks to my friend Niki who is the queen of organization and an incredible face painter. Not bad for a tackle-tart.
