Possible job for anyone around Brisbane Australia!!!

I got a contact from my website today asking for a quote for face painting and jumping castle hire but I am located in VIC so if anyone here lives around Boronia Heights Brisbane let me know and I'll give you the guy's details.

You could put it out on the Aussie google forum and see who wants it....

Ah yes, good idea!

Damn if i had any confidence i'd give it a go. then again i dont have a castle

I was thinking someone could just quote him for facepainting as there are probably plenty of castles he could hire seperately... how many castle hire places would also facepaint?

Give it a go Jazz! Have you seen some of the messes people make on kids faces at school fairs and things and call it face painting? Even they get paid I think your work is great! You could offer a few designs that you're comfortable with and use it as an opportunity to practice!

Awww thank you! i just got all warm and mushy inside over that lol, i have to say though the main thing with my reluctance to jump on it is i dont have the insurance yet. It would be just my luck that i'd take an eye out with a brush or something...

lol I thought my insurance was to cover me if some kid ate my entire kit in one sitting and keeled over... I hadn't occured to me I might poke anyone's eye out! Turns out face painting is fraught with danger! Who woulda thunk it.

Insurance = $150/yr from www.duckforcover.com.au (that's actually insanely cheap)

Just jump in and give things a go! If I waited till I was "good enough" I'd still be waiting. (seriously)

Yup, just do it.

Hey, Tash, Aussie google forum? I haven't found that yet, got a link?

Ok you have sorta talked me into it. if you still have the number i'll give them a call, no harm in trying to at least get a date

Argh! Too late Jazz! Someone who does castles and face paint contacted me and I gave the guy their details. I'm so sorry! But I'm glad you're confident enough to agree to it! Now get out there and get some business!!!! And post the pics for us!
