Stage Makeup

So every thursday we meet up at Edinbrook Church and play with different kinds of art. A few weeks ago we brought in a bunch of makeup and face paint and gave everyone a "theme" and a partner and sent them off to create that theme on their partner using the makeup. It was so fun, just playing with it all, seeing what works, what doesnt...and just seeing them transform into these other characters. And while all this was going on we walked around with a camera...capturing these beautiful artists at work...:) They created everything from fantasy to high fashion to dark to using colors or blacks and whites. totally open to their interpretation, and they did a beautiful job.

So that is what the pictures of people in face paint are from.

We are planning to do it again soon, do some demonstrations and teach how to create the effects they want for the stage or for pictures. You never know when you might need it...:) Sarah and I just thank God so much for the time we get to have with this group every thursday. Its so fun and we just love the opportunity to teach and encourage and play and learn from the team too...it is so amazing how God knew that we would love this. That He knew that we would all come together and just be willing to learn and work with each other to see what He can do through us. and so amazing that this...being creative, playing, and trying new things - that this is glorifying God. That this is what He is calling us to...so crazy how well He knows our hearts. He knows exactly what will make us feel the joy He wants for us and He organizes it so that if we are following His path - we get to feel it. we get to get to know God in the way that we understand, the way that impacts us deeply...and for this team...its with art. Being equipped for whatever is to come...whether with makeup or drama or writing or drawing or whatever...

this team was started with the intention of ministry...and while we have done it...so much more is coming. outside the church building...God has so much planned and its just so exciting. following God's plan, taking the risks...SO worth it. He knows...we just have to remember to trust that He knows us better than we know us...and His plan is perfect...:)
