Ok, so my husband feels that I have rather suddenly improved quite a bit... I thought I'd post a few of my newest designs... feedback is appreciated. I think my recent boost came from buying a couple of Marcela Murad's books and seeing how simply some things can be created with dots and teardrops.

Are the A and B different prices?

I need to work on my butterflies. I never seem to like the way they look.

yes... A's are $5 and B's are $8

Wow 'Noia! these are great! I especially Love the Dragon! It's really cool! Keep up the great work!

Very nice.

wow.. high praise coming from Punky AND Smacky!

well, you deserve it! You've come quite a long way, it's obvious you've put a lot of work and practice into it!

Great work Noia!
Wish face painting was my thing....guess I have to live through you guys and your great art!

Here's a couple more... not drastically different from the butterfly crown, but it's a pretty versatile design.

I think the dragonfly is really pretty with the green behind it. Will you give me some tips when I get some paints?

absolutely :D

Those are awesome! It seems I practice and practice and cant put what I see to my brush...all this time off my leg is getting sore from painting and still cant do that good!

practice tiger stripes and tear drops.... get out your large round brush and practice making skinny lines into thick lines and back to skinny. For tear drops (I think I do it backwards from what Mama Clown does) start with a thin line then lay down the brush. I LOVE my round brush.

I suggest practicing making your teardrops both ways.

i absolutly love the dragonfly clown and the dragon, but all the designs are beautiful!
