HOW-TO MAKE A
Painted Rainbow
1. Choose and mix your colours with water.
2. Paint stripes of each colour onto a clean, just damp sponge.
3. Press the sponge lightly, colour side down onto the surface to be painted. Without lifting the sponge, sweep it across the surface to spread the colour in a rainbow shape.

Last weeks best job! The Grange's Hallow'een Party

It may not be the best face painting I've ever done, but it met with much appreciation and happiness!
Everyone was looking forward to their party later and getting all dressed up.
Quite a few of the staff got painted too, but I only managed a few 'phone photos.







Well done to all who got painted- especially the Grange staff member who had to catch the bus!

Last weeks best job! Wasn't a job, it was a Face-Paint Jam!

A face painting jam is a get together of face painters who share their skills and technical know how.
Last week a group of us went to 'Mary's Tribal Jam'.
Mary Fairgrieve's work is exceptional and she opened her home to what turned out to be a bunch of happy nutters...with their children... She tried her best to teach us something and we all tried our best to play with paint. Prizes and even a certificate were given. Yours truly won...nothing.




 I did get Triballed by another fantastic facepainter, Annie D and was morphed into a celtic warrior through the photoshop skills of the only male painter attending - Al Reid. 



It was altogether a fun happy sunny day and an excellent bonding session! Usually we face painters only know of each other through work, so it's a joy to get to know one another properly.



I face paint under the name 'Metamorface'. A name, we, (we are a team), achieved over a couple of G & T's!
The lovely Brenda Binnie won the coveted Metamorface certificate.
