Family Party

Such a special day ~ I came prepared to do both Face-Painting And Balloons at this one-year-old's Party.  Everyone seemed so happy.

I had arrived all painted up myself  - full-face -sort of a Minnie Mouse sort of thing.  Very comfortable ~ sometimes I even forget when I have it on.

There wasn't enough time to get to my gym after the event, and I really wanted to get in a swim.  So I found a local Y where I could get over 1/2-hour before it closed.  By the time I got there, I had forgotten that I was all painted up.  So I felt tickled pink when the girls at the YMCA desk told me that I wouldn't have to pay the $15 fee ~ because they 'had a special that day for people who came painted like that' :-)

Face-Painting Roses

My Roses are requested at practically every Party.  I'm not surprised.  Makes people feel so beautiful.

I started feeling really graceful as I painted them at this recent Party.  I felt so pleased with how beautifully they turned out.  As did the guests.

Wide Variety of People

At many events, everyone wants to be something different.  We all have different hearts, different dreams, different imaginations.  It shows to me when I see how people respond to Face-Painting, when I see what choices they make, when I see them respond to their finished visions.  We have here Corner Stars, an Avatar, a Dolphin, a Thanksgiving Turkey, a Leapard, a Vampire, a few different Butterflies.....  and that's not all I painted at this PreSchool Opening:

BTW, this was such a beautiful PreSchool.  In Brooklyn.  With wildly colored walls including Purple and Green, which somehow felt calm and lovely the way it was put together.  Crystal Clear fishtank walls.  New surprises on some old developmental toy ideas.  I felt like a person would want to be there ~ adults as well as children.  It was so fresh.  So very new.

This girl was so cute

I think she was supposed to be 'Candy Corn', whatever that is :-)        
Anyway, she sat down and said she wanted the pretty face with flowers.  
Did it go with her costume?  Does it matter?  I felt happy with how it turned out:

Working Together for a Quality Costume

Oh dear.  Both my client and I did just a little bit, but when our vampire design came together, even the Adults could loosen up and experience the freedom of Fun!  Here is the face that I painted as a vampire.  With neck-drips.

 Followed by a picture of that same face after my client pulled a veil over it.  Wow.

This one was done for Halloween.  I've also had other opportunities for helping Adults put together Costumes.   Will the Fun never stop??
