A day of preparation, touch ups, and trying out face painting...

María del Carmen, Diana and I worked from 4:30 until past eight o'clock last night, revamping some of the first heads, and preparing 12 more with primer for our up-coming session tomorrow Friday, January 11th!

Here is Diana applying  three coats of  Zinsser B I N Primer; I will spray paint them outside today!

The weather will be perfect since we are experiencing a "heat wave" again here in Charlotte...

Viviana

Viviana has changed her appearance, the black mask  is gone, a new softer looking one covers her face, and her lips are full and red. She looks great! Thanks María del Carmen for the special touch...

Notice the brooche on her neck? it's a special donation from Alejandra.

There are many ideas going around in our heads; more and more it allows us to understand what happens when you are presented with fabric, laces, colors and jewels. It's the material on hand that leads the creation, it takes you places you never imagined. Look at my new project: Carmen brought a bag full of curtain trimmings, which at some point she dyed herself, but  did not like the result. Well, like Scarlett O'Hara who made a dress out of drapes, I am making a hat. Where is this taking me? I do not know...

But among all this fun activity, let's not forget our ultimate goal: to make Carnival Charlotte 2013 a grand community event, it's only four weeks away.



Next time I will post some face paint examples... Talk to you again...
