Masquerade!

I had an awesome time painting a few faces for a masquerade party last night! I also added a photo of my daughter's spider wed mask too!

Potato Fest

A few weekends ago I had the pleasure of painting faces at the Potato Fest in Ebensburg, Pennsylvania. I got to try out some new designs and some old designs with custom color. The neatest experience was seeing how many people requested the design I put on my own face. I had ordered a one-strike split cake thinking in was blues and when it arrived it was actually purples. So, I just experimented with it and painted a totally new design on my own face and to my surprise it became one of my best sellers that day!

Check out some of the custom colors and new designs below!

Halloween Ideas

Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays. I have always enjoyed the idea of being able to dress up as somewhere or something entirely different for a day. It's the one day of the year you can be a super hero, a princess, a doctor, or a rock star and have everyone else call you that too. What is even cooler about it is that it gives children a chance to conquer their fears. This night they can be the scare zombie, vampire, werewolf, or whatever else they imagine goes bump in the night. So, in the spirit of Halloween I came up with a few designs.

Heritage Festival

I missed posting my last event. I was at the Westmont Craft and Cruise. I did a lot of glitter tatoos. 

This weekend, Saturday, September 21 I'll be painting faces and doing glitter tattoos at the Heritage Festival at Camp Harmony on Plank Road in Hooversville, PA. Come on down and see everything Camp has to offer!

The Bottle Works

Wow! I realize I haven't posted in a while. Right now I'm sitting outside the Bottle Works Ethnic Art Center on 3rd Ave in Johnstown For The Celebration Of The Dedication of Their New Garden! I'll be here until 6:00 today! I've already painted a handful of faces and several special requests that turned out beautifully!

South Fork Heritage Festival 2013

South Fork Heritage Festival is a nice little festival situated in the hills of Pennsylvania. It's an adorable little town filled with fun and interesting people and families. I really enjoyed working at this event and look forward to being able to do it again next year! Check out some of the faces from this festival along with a few special requests! I love special requests!

This is my favorite face from this weekend! This beautiful lady is still a kid at heart and once she saw her granddaughter's faces she said she just had to come get something herself! She lives by the phrase of you're only as old as you let yourself live!

 Awesome fish Face! I really enjoyed painting this one! I like painting faces that take tie and technique to paint and this turned out awesome!

 Check out this Alien Face! I love how his eyes turned out!

 These two guys were fun to paint! Their faces turned out even better than my original examples! They were both very happy customers and informed me they were even going to wear their paint to their baseball game on Friday Night!

 This is a pretty little flower on a pretty little girl!

 One of many Iornman faces I painted this weekend!

 Doggy Cheek art.

This was a special request from this little guy. He wanted a classic Mario. So I looked it up on my smartphone. He chose the image he liked best and I go to work. The fun part about this is that I was painting it on his hand so he could see what I was doing the whole time and he kept questioning what I was doing. Even to the point of asking me,"Are you sure you know what' you're doing?" I just laughed and said," Nope, not a clue." and kept painting. When I was done his reaction was priceless. As you can see from the photo he was one happy customer!

 These guys were awesome! They got their face painted early in the morning, took a nap, went swimming, and came back for more! They will also be celebrating a birthday at the beginning of July and I'll be painting theirs and all of their friends faces at their party!

 Here are a couple of Princesses from this weekend!

Some kiddos like their whole face painted. Some just want something simple. So I have a small simple cheek art available for just $1.00 Like the baseball bat and ball this little guy has on his cheek.

Rainbow cheek art!

Venom or Spiderman? How about both!

Two cute little sisters with skulls!

This brings a whole new meaning to Friends with Words! 

Ironman, Spiderman, and at Tiger, Oh My! :)

Miners' Memorial Days Faces!

I posted these on my pinterest board, and Cheeky Monkey Faces facebook page, and am finally getting around to posting them on my blog as well. I met some wonderful families and some really great kids this past weekend. Check them out!

 

This is an improved version of my fly catching froggy. I definitely like the colors I used on this one better!

 This is a special request from my sister. She calls it a Cutesy Skull and it will be available at all future events!

 This was the first face I painted this past weekend! It was a special request from a sweet little guy! He loved his ducky and his mom told me later that he kept it on all day until bath time.

 Another special request. I have a lady bug cheek art, but this young lady wanted a lady bug mask! How cool does she look!?

 This is some body art! A Mermaid done on her arm! I painted this free hand on the fly! It turned out pretty good, but I definitely have to invest in some flesh colored paints for all.

 This little guy wanted his whole face painted like a skull, but his mom wasn't so thrilled with that idea, so he settled for some cheek art instead! :)

This is Rayna TearHer from the Johnstown Roller Girls, Roller Derby Team! She wanted a rockin' glittery star!

Some of the Spidey Faces from the weekend.

 

 My first princess mask of the weekend. She even decided to strike a pose! She's a princess with attitude!

 Two sweet little sisters! One princess and another with a lady bug cheek art!

 More SISTERS! Butterfly Mask and a custom colored fishy!

Tigress Mask!

 It was an honor to paint this mask. This young lady is very sweet and caring. She requested this mask, the Relay For Life Benefit mask, be painted in black in honor of her "Pappy Pete" who passed away from cancer before she was born. She also shared with me that her family is involved with the Relay For Life every year!

This guy loved his skull face! He wore it to his Uncle's house to scare him and kept it on all night!

 This is my dolphin mask that I shrunk down to fit on this young girl's cheek.

 What is Cheeky Monkey Face Painting without a Cheeky Monkey!

 Windber Cheerleaders with Dolphin masks along with a cute little princess and butterfly mask.

This is a close up of the custom colored princess mask!
