In an effort to do more advertising I made a sample for Bee Mine Too boutique in Richland, MI. It’s me at 39 weeks (the day before I was induced in to labor). I did the outside with traditional sailor tattoos. I love tattoos, and recently I have really gotten in to the Sailor Jerry style tattoo. They remind me of my husband. The pin up is the one on my husband's arm. Since he is still deployed at this time I did a sunset with a silhouette of his ship heading out across the Atlantic.

Shawn's belly was a fun one to do. She posed in person and we discussed what she wanted in her belly. She wanted a tree of life, her little girl was born in December so she wanted snow. I decided on the camouflage and the dog tags to represent the pride she has in her husband for serving his country. Pink was the color of choice for her baby girl so the whimsical tree has pink leaves with a splatter painted snowy back ground. The dog tags has her baby's birth stats and their wedding date on it. Carlina messaged me about doing a Sarasota Springs, NY belly. More specifically Congress Park and the carousel. I loved the idea but I was really stumped on how to do this. I had recently learned about a xerox transfer technique on Pinterest. (I am a little obsessed with Pinterest) I found the images that I wanted and had my mom photocopy them for me at work. First you paint the canvas with a base coat and while it is still wet you press the copy to the paint and let it dry. Now mine did not turn out as clearly as the example I was going off of but I am really happy with what happened from there. Before I go any further I should mention that Carlina's is a special order, it is only 11x14. Normally I really don't like going smaller as there is less to work with but i really don't feel like this could have been done on a larger scale. So after it dried I had to rub away the paper using a wet cloth. I had to do this twice since the first time didn't take. This belly took MONTHS to do but it was so worth it. You can see the carousel building print but the horses ended up being a template so I got them accurate. I am really glad that it turned out the way it did. |
