Looking for quick Patriotic designs

[Sherry]

I have an event coming up Wednesday where I need patriotic designs.  They need to be quick.  I have a few ideas, but thought I'd post to the board to get more choices.   Any ideas or pictures?

Patriotic.  I paint a flag over a whole face - blue sqaure in the corner, red/white strips horizontally across the face.  It takes longer than sponging. 

And you can do anything in red/white/blue:
Red/white/blue butterfly,
red/white/blue glamour eyes,
red/white./blue stars -
You get the idea

I hope you get this before you go to your gig today Sherry.
I meant to finish it last night, but lots of kids, etc. ya know!

You can simplify most of the complicated ones. This is what I did some of on fourth of july
plus of course, red, white & blue butterflies. Sierra (my little blondie) did her own.

Those are good!  The event is over.  It was for the Veteran's Day Parade.  I did a similar monster face that I found by looking online, I can't remember the artist, but here it is.




Here's some other faces.  A pared down tiger face and others.

Good job.  See?  It's easy.

I particularly LOVED that red/white/blue all over the face, Sherry.
An abstract with a statement.

I checked it out again.  So well done.
I imagine I would have had quite a problem with that red turning to pink when it was sponged right next to the white.  Do you have a special technique to avoid that?

[Sherry]

I made split cakes with the red, white and blue.  I made one with Diamond FX and one with Snazaroo.  I used the DFX ones that day.  The Snazaroo ones I made seem to have the problem of the red bleeding into the white and turning it pink.  I'm not if that would be noticeable when actually using the cake.
