“Make The Child Happy” - SF Competition Sent in by Lisa Leyes

Dear Philadelphia:

I am a volunteer facepainter at the Hospital for SickKids in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.  I have a tip for you.

I cannot carry around a jar or cup of water to wash my brushes off in, as of spreading infectious diseases.  I carry two small spray bottles:

One is for spraying the PAINT with water.  This makes the colors very intense.  I paint on the child’s face, wipe off on a paper towel, and dip in rubbing alcohol.  The second spray bottle holds rubbing alcohol.  Everything in my kit must be clean, clean, clean.  I go up to hematology/oncology sometimes, and I must have a sterile kit.  My brushes never touch a paint after touching a child’s face.  I carry a lot of brushes and natural sea sponges, as there are lots of latex allergies in the hospital.  The rubbing alcohol dries very quickly in the brushes.  I wait a few minutes before using again on a child’s face.

I have the best volunteer job in the whole world. All I do is make people happy. My job description is as follows:

“Make the child happy”.

If that means that I paint Grandma like a tiger, then that is what I do.

I also do special effects.  It seems the most innocent, happy boys want to have the most evil, disgusting, fake pus, fake blood dripping fake wounds to scare the nursing staff.  The nurses here are pretty calm, so I go to them and ask them to emote.  The boys revel in the stir they create in the staff with their very real looking black eyes, bloody noses, chunks of ripped up skin, fake gangrene, etc.  It is a delight to make them happy.

I am glad I hooked up with your website. I hope to share more small tips with you.

“Face Painting Pumpkins” - SF Competition
Sent in by Mollie Stofan a.k.a. “Mollie the Painter”

Face Painting…Pumpkins?

This fall, I was hired to face paint at a local farm, Janoski’s.  Their “Pumpkinland” activities go on every weekend in October.  After my first weekend painting, my boss told me that she was very impressed by my designs and detail.  She then asked me if I would paint 32 apple-sized pumpkins for her.  She wanted to give the pumpkins out as party favors.  I eagerly agreed and took the pumpkins home.

My first thought was, “What paint should I use?”  I decided on using acrylic paint that I had lying around the house.  I sat down and began to paint.  My happiness turned to panic as I painted because the acrylic was not sticking well to the pumpkins skin.

Skin!  Now I knew what I needed! I went downstairs and took out my face paints..  I started to paint again, only this time with my Paradise and Snazaroo paints.  Painting on the pumpkins was as easy as painting on your arm or leg.  The paint also went on very smoothly.

The only problem that I ran into was that the paint would smudge if you touched it.  I fixed this problem by spraying each finished pumpkin with clear polyurethane.  That way, the design became permanent and the pumpkin also now had a beautiful shine!

Each pumpkin took me about 16 minutes each to complete.  I did each pumpkin differently, mostly because I had a lot of fun coming up with different designs. So if you are looking for another way to use your face painting talents, why not try face painting pumpkins!

Happy Halloween!

“Face Painter Discovered Online Becomes a Star on CBC”
- SF Competition
Sent in by Erin Wainwright

Hi Philadelphia and fellow face painting enthusiasts!

I just wanted to write to you and share a funny thing that recently happened to me. About two weeks ago, I received a voice mail message from a television show called Living Montréal that is shown on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC). They wanted to know if I’d be interested in taping a show about face painting to teach mothers how to do three simple designs for Halloween. Of course I called back immediately and accepted!

A week later I was in downtown Montréal getting ready to tape the segment for the show. From 5:30pm until 10:30pm I got to learn all about the secrets of television. What a learning experience! Every movement, every brushstroke and every swipe of the sponge had to be redone a million times from a million different angles!

The three children who were the models for the designs were so patient and wonderful! The oldest boy was ten and I painted him as a skull, the seven year old girl was a butterfly and the four year old was transformed into a Dalmatian puppy.

I have to state that the designs I painted were not my most detailed or best work, as the point of the show was to show mothers easy designs they could do themselves at home.

What I found the most amazing about the entire experience was the fact that the show found me through my free online web ads. They cost me nothing to post and they really work! What is also really great is that the show will be posting my contact information on their website for a year.

Talk about free advertising!

If anyone is interested in watching the show it will be aired during the week before Halloween at 3pm weekdays on CBC Montréal. As of yet, I do not know the exact dates, but I do know that the show will be shown in two parts, on two different days. After the show is aired on TV, you will be able to watch the segments on the Living Montréal website at the following link. http://www.cbc.ca/livingmontreal/

And so that was my big surprise! I cannot begin to express how excited and nervous I was to talk on camera, but as I became a little more comfortable, it was less and less difficult to explain and paint at the same time.

I cannot emphasize just how important web-ads really are. But as you can tell from my experience, it just goes to show what a little free advertising online can lead up to!

Hi there, I’ve got another Halloween video for you, it will show you how to make Fairy Wings for your Halloween Costume (from ThreadBanger.com). These fairy wings would look good with a gothic face painting design, witch face painting design or spider face painting design found in our very own: ”Halloween Make Up Guide“!

These fairy wings are made with black tights/pantyhose but you can use different colored tights if you like!
