December 2024

We are now well and truly into the Christmas season.  Our first event was the Morpeth Christmas Lights switch on and what a great afternoon we had.  4 painters working flat out for 4.5 hours and folk patiently waiting 45 minutes in our line.  The atmosphere was great (it stayed dry for us too!) and everyone was in such a good mood we really enjoyed it.  Trying to get all our kit out through the crowds as they waited for the button to be pressed was an interesting experience but it kicked the festive season off wonderfully.

This month sees lots of excited children at many Christmas parties and we do bump into Santa quite a bit at these events too - people forget what a busy month he has leading up to the big world tour on Christmas Eve. 

Probably the most popular designs this year are Reindeer and the Grinch but Snowman is running a close third at them moment.  If I remember I will update you in January what the top 3 designs were.

We are still doing birthday parties as well as these never stop.  I know some parents with children who's birthdays are close to Christmas wait until January to have their parties for a number of reasons.  I understand this, as someone who has a child with a birthday between Christmas and New Year, and how hard it is to keep the day special and memorable as a birthday and not just part of the festive celebrations.  

Our last event of the year is one of our chosen charities (we offer our services free of charge for these) and is a FREE to attend community event in Newsham, Blyth for 'Fresh Creative Aspirations'  who are a new mobile youth club provider.  It's on Sunday 22nd December at Newsham Pavilion, Blyth NE24 4DA

 

 

November 2024

After a busy summer the clocks have changed and it's getting colder.  As a year round face painter it's time to wrap up well and be prepared before heading out to events.

October saw me attending the International Face & Body Painting Convention weekend in Coventry.  Yes there really is one.  With over 250 face and body paint artists it's time to meet old friends from around the country, attend workshops and buy lots of pretty colours and sparkly glitter.  This event only happens every 2 years so is quite special and great fun.  On the Saturday evening there is a big fancy dress gala dinner and if you want to see people really go for it outfit wise this is the place to be!  

We can't talk about October without mentioning the painters busiest time for scary faces - Halloween.  So many skulls and pumpkins, witches and zombies to be painted.  Developed a new face painting design I called 'dark ghost' this year which proved popular.  Being in this business we are always looking at new face designs and products and changing the our options up to keep it fresh and bring the customers the best quality service and face painting experience possible whether its for a kids party or a bespoke face painting client.

Christmas parties will being soon so I'm making sure we have enough red, green and gold face paint in stock for all our reindeer, Grinch and Christmas face designs.  A few places you can catch me for public events are as follows:
