Face Painting at Keynsham Music Festival

This morning I received a page from the Evening Post in the mail.  I'm assuming one of the team has posted it as it came with no note!!  Anyhow, it's the article from the Evening Post on 4th July all about the success of the Keynsham Music Festival and shows Louise from the Cats Whiskers Face Painting team with a rather smart Spiderman! :)

Best wishes

Fun at the Bristol Harbour Festival 2009

On the 1st & 2nd August 2009 the Cats Whiskers face painting team participated in the Bristol Harbour Festival in the children's area on Queen's Square. Although the weather looked a little suspect for the Saturday the crowds still came and we all had great fun painting the children's and adults faces during the weekend as well as doing some temporary tattoos. Here are some of the pictures taken at the event showing the team at work and play and some of the lovely people we met:

Too busy face painting to take photos!!

We have had a fabulous couple of weeks working hard to entertain people and assist in promotions with face painting, balloon modelling, temporary tattoos, workshops and henna. So busy in fact that we've not been able to take many photographs to show you!

We have entertained at birthday parties with face painting, balloon modelling and even a casualty and wounds workshop!

We have face painted at promotional events for Clevedon Children's Centre, Tescos Metro Staple Hill and in Villa Park for the Aston Villa versus Hull match! The Villa Park football event was incredibly busy but really amazing fun!

We have partied with the students at the May Ball creating delicate eye masks for the girls and obviously painting one or two spidermen and tigers for the boys. ;)

We've undertaken a private Henna booking and private training workshops.

And we've had a slightly more cultural moment face painting at Cheltenham Jazz Festival.

Here are the three pictures the team have managed to take that were in focus! LOL!

Bristol Harbourside Festival 2008

This weekend was the Bristol Harbourside Festival and we were providing face painting in the Childrens Area in Queens Square. We really enjoyed our weekend even though the days were long and the queues seemed endless!! The atmosphere was brilliant and everyone seemed to be getting into the Festival spirit. The music in Queens Square wasn't bad either!

Both children and adults really enjoyed the face painting and loads came back from Saturday to see us again on Sunday. We even had a few waiting for us to set up on Sunday morning! It was also lovely to meet again many of the families whose birthday parties we've entertained at. It was fantastic that they came over to say hello.


Here are some pictures from the weekend - not many were taken because we were too busy!!

Festivals, Funerals and Christenings

I had a first at the weekend! I was booked to balloon model at a funeral!! Ironically, I was booked to face paint at a Christening the next day, so I experienced both ends of the spectrum.



Actually, as parties go, this celebration of the life of a loved one lost to cancer was amazing! It really was a celebration of her life bringing together all the aspects of life that she loved. There was flamenco dancing & Scottish dancing, singing and an open mic to share stories of her adventures. Nobody was dressed in black and there were loads of family and friends there. She must have been an amazing person.



The girls, meanwhile were at several other events in the area enjoying the Summer weather!! The team that went to Keynsham Music Festival on Sunday had a great time but were swamped under the gazebo when the heavens opened!!



Here are some of Sharon's pictures from Keynsham.

Face Painting fun

Another busy weekend in the face painting calendar. Lots of events and parties to attend! The girls went to a Music Festival and had a really busy time of it! Solid painting for five hours!! The sun came out and so did the people - which is always great for the face painters.

I was booked to face paint at Holly's birthday party. I started face painting at this families parties when Holly was three and I've been to a few of her sisters parties too so it's wonderful to see how the girls are growing up and catch up on their news.


They also know me well enough to know that they can request anything and I'll give it a go!! This year the girls wanted dolphins - not ones with waves, or a dolphin princess, but something new just for them! Here's what I came up with:

Here's Holly's sister:

Here's a black cat requested at the second party I did.
