Tribal Style: Raccoon Face Paint


Happy Cinco de Mayo! 


I don't know why, but I found myself ruminating on the day-of-the-dead skulls. I love how some women  paint their faces up, accented with flowers and scroll-work. 

Like this....



     But it struck me that the dark eye sockets could be used for a raccoon style make-up. And so this monstrosity was born. 
     Part Dia de los Muertos, part tribal, and part animal. 

     When I started scrounging around for colors, I came across silver acrylic paint. I don't recommend this for face-paint (my eyes watered like crazy) but the shinyness of it was really cool. So without further ado, enjoy my simple design.
