SW FACE Jam Day with Henna!

Last Saturday was the regional get together for the Face Painting Association, FACE (http://www.facepaint.co.uk/). Annie Freeman from Annies Funny Faces in Plymouth is the South West rep and she organised a great day with over twenty face painters from the region coming along to meet up, take advantage of the retailers of paint & related products and generally play with paint!! There was also a fantastic goodie bag with face paint and glitter samples amongst a range of other bits and pieces!

I took some Henna down to play and demonstrate with and here are a few of the designs!

It was lovely to meet up with old friends and meet some of the other face painters that work around the region. A good day was enjoyed by all!

It's the UK Face and Body Art Convention (http://www.facepaintingconvention.co.uk/convention/index.php) in Telford in a month (17th - 19th October), so quite a few of us will meet up again there! I'll be teaching at the Convention again this year covering a range of aspects of face painting - from sponge work & brush work to speed and efficiency through to the sparkling party princess!! It's always a great place to go and learn so I'm already looking forward to it!

Cabot Circus - Opening Day!!

After months of traffic chaos and watching the development rise from the ground at the bottom of the M32, Cabot Circus was opened today!

Cats Whiskers were there working alongside the staff of Fat Face which is based in the Quakers Friars area of the new development. A member of the team will also be there on Saturday providing Fat Face tattoos for all the customers!





So come along and check it out. The architecture alone is amazing - and then there's the shopping!!

Back to School

It's that time of year again where routine is restored and the children resume their studies at school.

A group of entertainers, including myself, also went 'Back to School'. Well, actually we went to QJam! This is an event held in Bristol annually where Qualatex - the balloon manufacturers - host training sessions for Balloon Modellers. We had a great day and much learning and laughter was shared by all.

Here's a picture for Mel - Ozzy in action. ;o)

My daughter loved the new 'Hobby Horse' style Unicorn balloon that I'd learnt!

Best wishes
