It’s been far too long since I’ve posted. My Living Social Deal was very successful, and I’ve been run ragged trying to keep up with everything. Consequentially, I haven’t had much time for taking photos or painting projects at home. I’m posting what I’ve got along with some photos from a family sidewalk chalk session. Enjoy!

This is my mini-me’s raccoon. Note its many legs. 🙂

Did you know that Melissa means honeybee? Well it does, and that’s what I’ve felt like lately–a busy little bee. First, I was working on developing my new custom glitter tattoos. (More coming on those soon, as well as a fun glitter tattoo party giveaway!)
Then, I had about a million jobs all in a row, and no time to post about them. For many of them, I didn’t even get photos. That’s how slammed I’ve been, people. I don’t even have time to charge my camera battery.
Fortunately, the lovely Denise Cold of Painted Party had a camera with her at a recent job and let me snap some photos. These are from a large corporate event in Park City, Utah. It was a lovely breezy mountain day, and I had a blast painting so many fun people (including a spunky grandmother and her granddaughters).
In addition to some other jobs last week, I also worked the Davis County Fair. You can find some great photos of the fair from Michael Bateman Photography on his website. My pathetic iPod photos can’t compare, but I’ll post them anyway for all you rabid fans. 🙂 I did a lot of henna as well, which was a nice change of pace.
You can find a step-by-step of this design at Daizy Design. Daizy is amazing and also in New Zealand so I have no qualms about recommending her. 🙂
This second design is also one of Daizy’s. She really great at fancy frilly eye stuff.
Recently I did a fun birthday party in a local park. I had a dragon face that I had been wanting to practice, and lo and behold, the birthday boy wanted to be a dragon! Of course, several of his friends followed suit, so I got in a lot of practice. This family was a hoot, and I was happy to be a part of their special celebration.
