At our house, spring and summer mean baby chickies, so I couldn't resist a little cheek art design using one as inspiration.Like all babies,chicks spend most of their time eating, and sleeping, so the two little chicks in this design are tuckered out and deep in their naps. 

The great advantage of Mehron Intense powders is that they are durable in hot, humid weather, because they ride lightly on the skin and don't tend to smear like traditional face paints. 

This lovely lace and flowers eye design is inspired by two of my favorite floral artists—Rosa Cline and Denise Cold. It's soft, lacy background is the perfect canvas for delicate, pink roses and should be popular with girls as well as moms who don't necessarily want a full mask for summer events.

I've always admired the bold fluidity of tribal designs, so this week I thought I'd add some special shimmers to a tribal design to make it appealing to girls or women.

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. 

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.
