you actually had me going there for a sec, Martha - I thought you were about to tell me why you didn't like it

People do use stencils for face/body paint then? - I've noticed they sell stencils in online FP shops but I just assumed they were used for glitter tatts or something.

Yes, you can use stencils on top of your paints once dry. If you want to play at no cost, save a mesh produce bag or salvage a torn lingerie bag that you use for the dryer. Cut a section out and edge it with some duct tape to give you something to manage. Lay it down over your dried paint and dab with a diferent color. Make sure that second color is really on the dry side. Have fun and play around!

Fish net stockings work great too. Great for snakes too! :wink:

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your cupcake! Fish is fantastic too! For a hook, in my opinion, Fab silver is nice. The kids go "OOOOOO" when I spritz it with water because it just sparkles in the light. I think it goes on well too.

I assume we're all invited!? Question

I'll try and take some step by step pics when I get a chance. He's pretty simple really though - not hard to figure out. I will mention that I did the top fin first (with a flat brush using an up & down wiggle stroke - I have no clue what that's called! Suspect

) then painted the body so it would overlap the bottom edge of the top fin.

Sure, you come on over. It is Valentine's Day after all! We'll have a feast of candy and treats...

Also, I need you to bring my fish husband to me.
