			<description>Hi fellow facepainters, new and established! I am happy to have stumbled upon this site. I hope to learn many things about the facepainting world as time goes by. Here's my story in a nutshell. Last year my family and I attended the Kodak International Balloon Fiesta that is held here every October. My daughter wanted her face painted. The woman painting her face was a true artist. I've seen some very unimpressive facepainters over the years who charged way too much for the work they did, but  ...</description>

I am so excited to finaly be able to post in here. I discovered this site a few days ago and have been waiting eagerly for my log in to be confirmed. I have learnt so much already and can't wait to get to know such an amazing bunch of painters.



My name is Christy and I am from New Zealand.

I have been painting faces for almost a year now. I had a very bored 4 year old one school holidays and we pulled out our $2 face paints and a started playing around. It was so much fun we decided  ...</description>

			<description>Hello everyone!



My name's Lauryn, and I hail from Detroit, Michigan.



I've had an interest in art since I was little, and had self taught myself how to draw, paint, and make crafts as a hobby. However, I had not thought I could go into business doing so until about a week ago when I volunteered to face paint at a Church function. Afterward, the parents there asked if I did parties or events, and while researching how to start up a business to do so found this lovely site.



So, as of now  ...</description>

			<description>Hi Everyone,

My name is Keisha and I live in Dagenham, London.  I'm a mum of two (a 4 year old son and 2 year old daughter).

Not counting the time I tried painting my nephew and nieces' faces with my set of watercolours when I was about 15, I started face painting 2 years ago.  I can't quite remember how I got the face painting bug but I think it's incurable.  I have been dabbling with the idea of going &quot;professional&quot; for a while but have only started to consider it seriously in the  ...</description>

			<description>Hi!



I'm Anna. I live in Orange, CA (originally from a little town up north called Ukiah).



I recently graduated from Chapman University, where I got my BA in Art and a minor in Math. Soon after, I began face painting for a small company here in Orange County! My sister began painting for them first, when she saw their ad for new face painters on Craigslist, and thought she'd give it a go. I had a lot of theatrical makeup experience, so she told her boss, and got me the job! I've been with  ...</description>

			<description>Hi Everyone,



In my former life, I was graphic designer at a national magazine. Just a couple of weeks ago, I was drawing and an acquaintance said, if you can do that, you should try face painting (she does fp on the side). I felt inspired. Of course! Why hadn't I thought of that before? And I've been hooked (read: obsessed) ever since. I've been scouring this forum and have already learned so much. And I have a lot of questions...



My 4-year-old daughter was my first customer, and insisted  ...</description>

			<description>I just found this forum last weekend.   I got started in face painting while in the process of trying to start up an airbrush (and airbrush + freehand) tattoo business.  When my wife saw some of the freehand tattoos I had done on my kid &amp; some of her friends, she volunteered me to do the makeup for a special-needs childrens theater group that my daughter belongs to.  I protested that I wasn't a theater makeup artist but they just needed some ultra-simple faces suggesting characters (rather  ...</description>

I'm Izzati from Penang Island, Malaysia &amp; new to face painting. I have done several times face painting during Georgetown Heritage Festival Day &amp; Little Penang Street Arts &amp; Crafts Market. Still there's a lot for me to learn. Penang don't have much info or classes on face painting and even paints. Not even books or magazines. I get it most from the internet. Now I found this forum...hoping to learn and get more tips, techniques and guidance from the experts here.



Thanks.  ...</description>

			<description>I'm new here and just uploaded a gallery of my work. I don't facepaint professionally, but it's a hobby I find challenging and fascinating. I take my paintings pretty seriously, and try to make every painting a work of art...even if it's a silly work of art. I signed up here hoping to find some inspiration that will make me a better artist. Take a look at my photos, and I very much hope to see yours!</description>

I'm Flory and I'm a newbie to the site - found it while I was searching for more face paints.  I started painting faces about four years ago when my aunt needed help at a local festival - she wanted to add something for the kids.  We started off with those little kits from Michael's with the plastic brushes.  When I made a little boy cry that year because the Spiderman he requested did not look like Spiderman, I was inspired to get better!

			<description>Hi, my name is Jenni from Spokane, Wa.  I love the forum and it has helped me a ton!  I am new to posting, I could hardly figure it out.  I started face painting this year as an add on to our jump castle business.  It is so addicting!  I wanted to find out what the best paints were to buy.  I did a lot of research the first time I ordered and got Wolfe black and white and a neon/metallic pallete.  Now I need to get some larger sizes and don't know that I love the Wolfe White.  I searched the  ...</description>

			<description>Hi all



New to the forum from Toronto area (most bookings I have are Toronto, but I'm &quot;from&quot; a suburb).



I originally started with makeup, was asked to do airbrush tattoos, and then was asked to face paint - most of what I do is airbrush, but pulling out brushes and sponges doesn't bother me either.



I found this forum a few days ago when searching with Google for what the Alberta regulations actually were. 



Hi!

I have been working for my mother doing henna at festivals and parties for about 4 years now and had no idea up till then that I had this hidden talent. I had been thinking about taking up face painting for a while now and so one day (about 4 weeks ago!) I picked up a kit. I have been covered in paint everyday since.

The spider was so badly done and you know what?  We LOVED it!  That is when I realized that my girls are so easy to please, and we went right away to the craft store to buy paints and a book (Snazaroo brand, thankfully).  When we got home I researched Amazon and got the Klutz book.  A week later  ...</description>

My Name is Kerry and I have just set up Carousel Face Painting, It's Myself, My Niece and My Friend.

It's a new venture so hoping we don't murder each other 



We are all from arty backgrounds and have a passion for painting...if it doesn't move it gets painted...if it does move it gets painted blurry   



I hope you are all well, I am new to the whole forum thing so if I do something wrong please correct me.
