It was dress-up day at the kid's school recently, and Lizzy wanted to go as the Cheshire Cat from
Alice in Wonderland. So I did some face painting inspired by this picture, using liquid face paints and a small brush. Here's how we did it, step by step, in case someone asks you to turn them into a cat!
Eyes (complete with white highlights) ...
mouth and nose ...
teeth ...
pink nose ...
fur ...
tabby stripes ...
whiskers ...
and a homemade costume (we stuffed the tail with newspaper).
Here she is at dress-up day. Beautiful - and a little freaky - just like the Cheshire Cat!
