All the girls painting, forgot to upload these picture last week.

Today I hosted my second face painting class at Flaxon Ptootch , Salon/Gallery at 237 Kentish Town RoadCity, London NW5 2JT (Tammy and Michael for letting me use the space) and what a great time we had, I was really luck to have a great bunch of students all very eager to learn how to face paint.

The organizing side of things was not my favorite bit, chasing people for deposits, making sure I had enough people in the class, last minute drop out, all of that was a bit of a nightmare but it did somehow all come together in the end.

We managed to get through a lot in a small amount of time and I think the end results look fab especially as some of the students had never painted before. Hopefully the class has given them loots to get started and be inspire to keep improving their skills as face painters be that as a professional painter or just for fun with there kids.

Working for Cadbury's Easter Egg Hunt with The National Trust at Ham House, I was working with my great friend Karla and it was a beautiful sunny day, we had a long queue all day long so after a while we decided it was time to do fast designs and people were trilled with what we did and happy to wait.
We did lots of bunny's, butterflies and Easter themed designs all the kids were happy even the little boy who was adamant he wanted to be spider man in the end he got a spider bunny.
Back tomorrow for my face painting in the sun.

Things have been busy with the children off on Easter Holidays and I haven't had much time to add these pictures from the last day at Westfield Shopping Centre. I had a great time working there but I'm now ready for the next challenge Easter! I hope to get lots of pictures in the next few days.

The staff from a perfume shop could not resist poping over on there breaks to have some face painting done.

Westfield again!

I had another quiet day today, I have not had this much before especially when the face painting is free, but I had a lovely surprise visit from my husband and children which was great as it is mothers day after all and I had to go to work.


I did loads of arm designs which was a great and a real change from the usual butterflies .

First Body Painting

So here it is my first ever Body painting! its been a long time coming but I finally managed to do it, it took me three hours to do and thanks to my very patient model Ana I think it did not turn out too bad for my first attempt.
I had the DVD of the fabulous Mark Reid on stand by to assist me when I needed to remember what to do next, his instructions are so clear and I would definitely recommend it to any one wanting to paint a pair of blue jeans.
We completely ran out of time towards the end so I had to rush things a bit which was a shame and we only had 20min to take pictures but I'm so happy to finally had a go.

Thank you to Ana Carvalho my model.

I have been wanting to get in to Body painting for a while but it just always seemed to be so much work and I never had enough time to do it, well I have now decided that I must make time,
I have the Mark Reid Blue Jeans DVD and have a model lined up for next Friday but I could not resist a quick practice on my leg, I know its not great but it is a start.
