a little place to call my own (art and fashion blog)

What are the benefits of painting with make up? First of all, it's something new and different. Secondly, it can be good for the environment. What do you mean? Well, using all make up for painting is just a brilliant way to recycle, isn't it?  You can use old products, the ones that you don't use or need anymore. You can recycle them. Instead in the bin, let them end up on your desk. Put the make up in a nice glass, mug  or some container and give your desk might a lovely make over. Place a paper on your desk and you're ready to go. Spend these beauty products in a creative way, by creating something meaningful ( a painting, a remainder, a birthday card) on paper. Big plus: you don't ever need to worry about feeling guilty about not using up a certain make up product. It may not feel like much, but it can make you feel a bit better about yourself. Some women just can't make themselves get rid of a certain beauty product, even after it is past its expiration date...

finally finished:) konačno završeno:)

I think I have already mentioned that I occassionaly use make up when drawing.  It is a great way to recycle. These two illustrations were with various shades and pen. One is more fairy-like while the other one is more realistic so the shades are used accordingly. The fairy isn't finished yet. Mislim da sam već spomenula da povremeno koristim šminku kada crtam. To je odličan način za reciklirati stvari. Ove dvije ilustracije su nacrtane kemijskom i raznim sjenilima. Jedna je više vilinska, a druga realističnija, pa su sjenila korištena u skladu sa tim. Vila još nije dovršena.
