Facepainting

Wanted to blog and tell you all about the wonderful face-painting course i attended.

It was a two day course in london , day one was face painting , day 2 advanced face painting.

We first leant how to apply a base ( no more dipping the sponge in the water bowl) using a water spray to get the paint consistency.

Next we blended with a sponge, an leant how to use the brush  to get the effects we wanted.

then I painted a tiger.

After lunch  I painted a butterfly with glitter.

Day two.

drag blending with a brush or sponge, we practiced  on our arms and then on each other.

once again plenty of glitter.

In the afternoon we did a monster!, it was very difficult but it was good to put to use all the skills we had learnt in the past 2 days.

Chritsmas lights in portishead

Today is the day volunteers put the portishead christmas lights up.

Its a amazing achievement that this wonderful display of lights is all done by the people of portishead. 

The local businesses in portishead are wonderful, making sure the workers get fed and watered though out the day.

Today was very wet and putting up the lights was hard work but worth it.

A big thank you to clarence  house for the pasty and chips, the wonderful ladies in barclays bank for the mince pies and sausage  rolls, mon's wine bar for the biscuits and coffee, and the poacher pub for the wonderful hot coffee.

Tomorrow night is switch on night.

Teampixies Halloween

Halloween is over for another year, but the blood and gore keeps selling ,its almost Halloween all year round at pixiedust.
This year we even had time to get dressed up and decorate our house to scare all the local children.
The problem was we where to good and they where to scared and would not come down the drive to collect their sweets.

We made it simple this year just a real coffin with spooky music playing , and large human skull on top of the coffin ( not real) . fake grave stones in the garden ( we do live opposite the cemetery) , lots of fog from the smoke machine.

Then my lovely hubby and I dressed as Victorian ghosts, Hubby in black suit top hat, me in a long skirt and Victorian style top and Shaw.

Hubby stood next to the coffin , and I sat in a large wooden arm chair , neither of us moved until the children arrived.

We a had a light show on the front of the house with a witch, pumpkin and spiders web.

Plus lots of pumpkins and gourds that we had grown.
