Cheeta print fat max and renaissance fair!

Hello I wanted to say hi, my name is mel and I have been LOVING this forum! I have been face painting for 3 years now and its so grIeat to finally find a place that discusses all that goes into my line of work. Everybody on here has so much great advace and cool things to show! I thought I would reciprocrate, here is some pictures of the fat max I got a month or to ago and turned it cheeta print and of the renaissance fair I did today.

LOVE IT! So inspired that I JUST BOUGHT A FATMAX !!!

I've been holding out - balancing the books, umming and aaahing but after a few weeks of face painting 4-5 days per week and lugging my kit hundreds of meters from the carpark over ice and through snow - trying to carry toolbox, tote bag, bucket, table, stool AND snowboard for afterwards (gotta LOVE working at a ski resort!!) I caved.
I figure with the invoice I just sent the resort for the past months work I can justify it, and your cheetah print just sealed the deal. Showed my wonderful partner the FATMAX today for the first time and he said buy it before this weeks work. STOKED!!! So excited to pimp my FATMAX. I'm seeing pink leopard but we'll see.
Great pics. Thank you!

Ohhhh Ahhhhhh! Love the cheetah print, is that contact paper you use? Thanks for sharing.
Riana, pink or purple leopard sounds awesome too! Hmmm, what about zebra print...I love zebra print!!!!!

I think we need a "Pimp my FatMax" thread people! hahahaha

I got done covering my banner stands w/ my zebra print duck tape and was staring down my fat -max but ran out of time . it will get it's turn this week

I love the cheetah print. I sooo want to do a ren fair, but the nearest ones already have face painters
I hope they're using safe paints.....

Kerrie, would love to see pictures if you can

Love it Kerrie! I really like the zebra print touches, can't wait to see what you do with the fat max.
btw that police, do not cross sign is awesome!

Riana - where did you get your Fat Max? I've been to every hardware store in Victoria and then some.......! They all have the same story - can't order them in, you have to wait until they are shipped in for Father's Day (September), so I'm waiting impatiently. Let me know whereabouts in NSW they have them, please

I got mine from Canberra from a scrapbook lady selling them on ebay. I had to drive there and pick it up (4hr return trip ) but it was soo worth it. I just filled it and I LOVE it. I did try getting Bunnings to do a special order but it kind of seemed like a dead end. I've checked ebay before and there were none but I guess this week was my lucky week cause the only ones listed were in Canberra and its my closest city. Good luck.

Thanks Maggie-Menard's had the mat for $5 in the new dorm stuff they just put out . They had a couple of good ones.

I got mine maybe 6 weeks ago from Bunnings in Broadmeadows, Craigieburn still had one last week but the spring handle on the front was broken.

Thanks Kris10, I'll check it out if I can tomorrow!

I'm really surprised you could have that at a Ren Fair (or a blue pop-up too!).
I've done Ren Faires from Virginia to Maine, and Massachusetts to Ohio and we had to hide anything that looked "pop-up", plus we couldn't show anything modern. I hid everything under fabrics. How convenient and awesome for you!

Nice Cheetah-age.

I love your hand drawn boards! See- you don't have to have photos, folks!
And it looks like they are changeable. That's very smart!

A small suggestion- use skin colored papers to draw your faces on and folks will be able to see how whites and light areas will pop.
