Tuesday tips @ Ten: Better Glitter Coverage

Happy Tuesday! I love using all the gorgeous types of glitter creams and gels for festival glitter designs and on my face paint designs.

So, today I’m going to show you how I get maximum glitter coverage with my creams and gels!

Step by Step Juggling Snowman!

The snowfall here in Minnesota the past couple of days has been MAGICAL! My favorite kind…the thick, fluffy kind that falls slowly like a snow globe and sticks to the branches, making everything look like a fairy land! Here are just a few pics I took in my yard:

Today felt like just the perfect photo backdrop for me to paint a little snowball juggling snowman idea that I drew in my sketchbook during my paint jam earlier this month!

Here’s a little time lapse tutorial!

Summer Treat Tutorials!

Some kids are getting back to school but here in Minnesota we still stretch out summer vacation until Labor Day! In honor of those final weeks of summer we just want to remind you that there’s still time to enjoy summer treats with these fun tutorials!

The colorful dots in the background were created using double-loaded small, foam daubers! Just load, press and twist!
Finally the perfect design for my TAG Carnival Base Blender! I used my new “Ooh!” star stencil for this…I don’t carry them in my store YET, but as soon as Covid is done ravaging my business, Ooh! Stencils are on the top of my list of new products to add!!
