The following is an entry sent in for our monthly Silly Farm Supplies Competition!
“First Face Painting”
Sent in by Jan Volkmann
I’m hooked! After downloading Philadelphia’s e-book and watching her tutorials, I knew I had to give this craft a try! I was asked to do face painting at a Independance Day celebration July 13, and admitted needing some instruction. I’ve painted on lots of surfaces, but never on faces!
I ordered the Snazaroo cake paints and couldn’t wait to get started. I found it’s one thing to paint on my own steady hand or a glass plate, and quite another to paint on a mobile 7-year-old. But my granddaughter Hope allowed me to “practice” on her, and the attached photo shows the result of my first attempt.
Thanks to a great website and fantastic tutorials, with a little more practice I think I can do it!
