A belly painting again - my 3rd belly. With irises.

[Lonnie]

This is my newest bellypainting. I used the TAG black iris to paint the irises



You can see a few more pictures of the belly here on my homepage:

Nice Lonnie!  What did you use for the base?

[Lonnie]

Thank you Sherry. I used DFX: metallic light green (maybe called petina?), metallic white and regular green.

Hello Lonnie ~  I had been away ~ Just got to see your beautiful painting.

I never did a pregnant belly - only a few slim muscular ones that move when the person laughs.
But pregnant bellies look great.  I can dream.....

So let me guess - you used the metallic white in the center of the circle
and the metallic light green around the edges of the circle?
Then you went back in with the regular green, blue, white, etc to paint the picture on top of the fully painted circle?

Hi Alison,
I painted the whole belly with the metallic light green first, then blending with regular green in the circle around the belly, and the metallic white in the middle. And yes, then I painted the flowers, leaves and butterflies on top afterwards

Thank You Lonnie from Denmark.  Hello!

And did you say that you did the irises in TAG black?  But that that black comes out looking purple when blended?

Hello Alison .

Not TAG black, but TAG black iris - the split .

[Alison]

Ooooh.  What does TAG stand for?

BTW, her tummy makes me think a person could look pretty good
Pregnant.

[Lonnie]

TAG is a brand of paint. TAG black iris is a splitcake:


I don't think Sherry sells TAG?

And a person can look VERY good pregnant - both with and without paint .

[Alison]

Is TAG a new brand?
I'm assuming it's FDA approved for Children?  Yes?

[Lonnie]

It depends on for how long something is new . It is not brand new, but quite new. They are still making more colors and especially more splits I think. And yes, FDA approved and all that. It is a bit cheaper than DFX most places I think, but I think it is an Australian brand?
