    Henna at Sunnyhill


    Last Friday night I had the opportunity to go back to my old Secondary school, Sunnyhill in Bruton, to provide Henna for their Bollywood themed sixth form party.


    It was a really fun event with all the girls in good spirits! I was crazy busy for my whole time there and was a bit concerned that I hadn't taken enough Henna with me - but in the end it worked out just right!


    I was that busy that I didn't get to take many pictures. In fact I only took a couple which were where I'd done the Henna design on shoulders! Taking a photo and showing them was the easiest way to let them see what their Henna design looked like!



    This picture is of my hand design the next day with paste off. It developed a bit further into a lovely deep chocolate brown colour. The design is still looking good a week later. :)

    I also got the chance to wander around school before the event started and revisit my old haunts. Strange how places look smaller over time! LOL!

    The new Bristol City football kit in body paint!

    Yesterday Sharon and I body painted Bristol City Football Club fan, Edd Parsons, with the latest club strip for a photoshoot with Liam Fontaine. Edd was a great model and game for a laugh! I particularly like the picture of him stood in the stands cheering on his team!

    Here's a link to the article on the Bristol City Football Club website: http://www.bcfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10327~1634137,00.html

    And here's a link to the gallery of images showing the new kit and our bodypainted version:

    Body Painting - Harley Quinn




    Back in March I went up to London to do some body painting for photographer David Kane (http://www.davidkane.co.uk/) with model Holly D. Holly has an amazing Joker tattoo on her arm and David had a cunning plan to body paint her as Harley Quinn - the Jokers girlfriend - and make her look as though she'd just been in a fight.

    Here are a couple of the resulting pics. :)

    Cover Artists!

    OK, so it's been a while since I've blogged but it certainly isn't because there's been nothing to blog about! We've been really busy with work, exciting projects and taking orders. :)

    I've also gotten quite obsessed with Twitter, so if you follow my feed (CatsWhiskersFP), you'll get a snap shot of the madness and mayhem that we exist in!!

    One of the most recent events to get really excited about was that Sharon and I became cover artists!! We recently worked with Bristol City Football Club to body paint midfielder Marvin Elliott for his focus piece in their match programme and it was used as the cover image as well. :D
    Here are some more pictures from the shoot:






    As you can see it was a really fun shoot to do.





    And here is the finished article: (click on the pics to make them big enough to read)







    Enjoy! :)
