Jodi, the owner/editor of the The American Face Painter magazine contacted me out of the blue at the beginning of Janurary and graciously offered to feature my work in the upcoming International Issue (which will be available on February 1st). So of course, I jumped at the chance!

Everyone chosen to be featured in that issue had to paint something that represented their country in some way, so I chose a moose, because they're everywhere here in Norway (we see them standing on the road all the time--they even like to peek into our windows !), plus every souvenir shop in Oslo has tons of moose-themed paraphernalia, and every sausage shop sells moose-meat sausage (I'm addicted to the stuff myself).

I wanted the moose to be in a birchwood setting, because birch trees are also very common here (we have several in our backyard). Thus this was the design I came up with (painted on my ever-patient hubby, ~sayh , of course; he's always my guinea pig), and Jodi liked it so much, she chose to put it on the magazine cover!!! You can see a preview of it here (posted with Jodi's permission). So ~sayh 's face will be "famous" now, and I'll get a little extra exposure for my facepainting work--sure can't beat that!
