Face Painting & Balloon Modelling fun at UWE

Below are just a few of our face painting & balloon modelling pictures from the Freshers weekend at UWE. As usual this was a really great booking with lots of laughs. We saw the return of the Aled hat challenge, as well as a request for a wearable duck balloon for the student's beach party later in the week! Sharon demonstrated her skills with some of our new eye designs. These eye designs will be making an appearance on our newly revamped face painting design sheets in 2010.

Face Painting for Children in Need at BBC Bristol & meeting Anthony Head

Friday 20th November was BBC Children in Need and the Cats Whiskers team supported the event in two different venues. Half of us were entertaining the wonderful volunteers who answer the phones and take the donations and the other half of us were invited to the canteen at BBC Bristol where the regional portion of the BBC Children in Need broadcast was taking place.

BBC Points West presenter Alex Lovell and actor Anthony Head were this years presenters. Great fun was had by everyone visiting as well as the whole of the Cats Whiskers team. Becky, a HUGE Wallace & Gromit fan, was allowed to hold the real Gromit! In her own wors, it was like her own personal Jim'll Fix It!! The team also had their photo's taken with Pudsey and Anthony Head and I was lucky enough to paint a Pudsey on his cheek and have a little moment on the TV with the presenters. :)

Here are some pictures from the evening from the BBC website and here are some of ours:

Our photos from Halloween

The October Half Term was a busy assortment of work. We worked under marquees in beautiful gardens, did special requests for individuals, entertained at parties for children and adults and did a big promotional event for our local shop - where we were mobbed! LOL!

But firstly we started off with a training night to refresh our memories of some of the Halloween designs that only get dusted off once a year.

This was the view from the marquee at Westenbirt Heritage Gardens:


And here are some of the people we met and painted there:


Sharon joined the UWE students for their Halloween Party:


I did some special one off designs for people having parties -
For a James Bond party:


A unicorn (before the finishing touches of the costume, fake eyelashes and lipstick)


and a Vampire:


Then on Halloween itself, Sharon and I worked in my local NISA store to entertain our friends in Frampton Cotterell:


Hope to see you soon!

Quotes from our clients and pictures from recent events.

"I just wanted to say a BIG thank you to your team who attended the Dobbies Shepton Mallet opening yesterday. The feedback has been very positive and I was very impressed with your team. All the children looked fantastic and all very happy with their face paint and balloons.
It was a very busy store opening and your team handled the queue of children extremely well. Even after painting all those faces they were still smiling." Amanda Mason, PR & Events Assistant, Dobbies Garden Centres.

"Lovely work, Sharon. Thank you for emailing the photos over. It’s really nice to see the work that is done. I don’t get into the field much myself.
Some nice words from the client: 'Firstly can I just say how absolutely wonderful Sharon was (again!) Her face painting is wonderful and she is also the loveliest girl. An absolute pleasure to see her again and I hope we can use her again next year!" Nicole, Entertainment Manager, Sitech Creations

The photos are all from Sharon. Some are from a 21st birthday party and others are from a Bar-be-que at the Royal British Legion Long Ashton. :)

Enjoy the sunshine.
