First you use your maxi mop or you can go to Michaels and get a pack of these in different sizes for about 3.00.	Then you pick your paint.  I am using the cake that has dark and light blue together. Completely cover the sponge of the mop with each color.	Then press it on the skin with a very slight twising back and forth - don't go crazy because you want both colors, but you also want some blending.	Then you add a white dot on the dark part of the bubble. You then can add a very small dark blue line just about half of the light part of the bubble,or you can just leave as is if you have a dark background.

Load sponge with light blue and apply to make the base. With a darker color of blue add depth.	With white on the sponge make highlight's. Remember light makes it look closer and dark depth.	With black and a round brush, outline the face and add the eyebrow and nostril.	Add more details around the eye and cheek to give it the "angry look".	Add white for the teeth and then detail them with black and red. Add additional details around the eye, nose using black and a fine round brush.

HONORABLE MENTION
Either load your sponge manually with the colors of the rainbow, or swipe your dampened sponge on a rainbow cake.	Wipe the rainbow on the skin.	Using a round brush, paint a black pot under the rainbow. You’ll want it wider than taller.	To give your pot some added dimension, add a couple of white details for “shine."	Using cosmetic-grade glitter gel, fill in your “gold.”

Make 2 dots for the eyes.	Using a flesh-tone paint, make the nose extend just below the eyes. Paint a large, bulbous chin and jaw, and a pointed ear.	Paint the hat in green, making sure you don’t paint over the ear.	Using burgundy, paint in wisps of hair between the hat and eyes, between the eyes and ear, and behind the ear. Also, paint the beard, but do not paint a moustache.	Line your Leprechaun! Add pupils, and a few wisps to the hair to darken it. Add a smile.

HONORABLE MENTION
Make 2 dots for the eyes.	Using grey, make the shark’s body. Try making him fat in the front and skinny at the end.	Add the line-work. Don’t’ forget his gills. It also adds to the character to make wrinkles behind his eyes, and mean eyebrows.	Using a liner brush, add the sharp teeth.

With red and a fan brush paint on the bottom of Elmo's head.	Rotate the fan brush around and repeat to make the top of the head.	With a medium round brush add a orange dot. Repeat this process with white to form the two eyes.	With a fine round brush and black add the dots to the eyes and add the mouth.	Continue with the black to accent the fur, outline the nose and eyes. With practice you can do this design in under 1 minute.

HONORABLE MENTION
Sponge in a white "blaze" from the forehead down to the upper lip. Cover the upper lip with white.	Using your chosen "horse color", outline the horse head shape with ears pointing up and inward, large rounded "jawbones" on the cheeks, tapering to a small chin bump. Fill in with the same color.	Outline the ear shapes and jawbone lines with black. Make sure the jaw line curves back up into the face like a fish hook on both sides.	With black, outline the lower face, jaw, and lower lip, and put "parentheses" on each side of the upper lip. Place a large "commas" at the sides of the nose, and add curves above the commas for the nostrils.	Add a lock of hair between the ears flowing down between the eyes, and a mane down one side of the head. Be sure to get at least one photo of your model with a big grin for a very cute "horse teeth" photo!
