Whimbubble Face and Body Painting

Whimbubble Studio is my small business as an artist and face painter. It’s all the things that I love to make and do, which I like to call my “whimbubbles.” I love to make things and have since I was tiny. First scribbling, then stick figures with triangle shaped dresses. Everything changed when cardboard came into my life. I went crazy over that stuff! My favorite thing to make out of cardboard were candy machines. I would take them to school and the other kids would be totally amazed! That is how I remember it, anyway.
