“My Love for Painting”
Sent in by Maykao Fredericks

I have always enjoyed painting on canvas and took a couple of classes in high school and college.  As my life moved forward it got harder and harder to find time to take painting classes.  Before I knew it I was married and had two babies now 1 and 3.  My husband tried to help me find time to paint by offering to care for the kids in the evenings but the only painting class logistically possible was on the one day he had Bible study. 

Life got more complicated when we heard news last Christmas that 8 siblings had been abandoned by their parents and was living in a homeless shelter.  Long story short we decided to take all the kids home with us and are now raising them as legal guardians.  We hope to adopt them if after a year the mothers makes no attempt  to get them back. 

It has not been easy and many sacrifices had to be made but the rewards of being part of divine intervention makes it all worth it. 

Because foster care would only allow us to care for 3 kids we chose to raise these kids without foster care support.  I knew I would need to get second job.  But because life is too short to be a workaholic, it would have to be enjoyable, flexible and include my kids in the process. 

Face Painting came to mind. 

I did extensive research, purchased your online manual, studied it and was soon ready to invest $150 worth of snazaroo paint, brushes and a pound of glitter (okay maybe I spend a little more than that).   I paint my kids faces on a regular basis and if I never get paid it’s okay, I’ve finally found a way to be reunited with my brushes and my creative self. 

I look forward to painting at my kids’ school fund raisers and I hope to get a few corporate contracts for community events.  It’s not always easy to get my kids to let me paint on them, but when I’m done, they don’t want to wash it off. 

Also, Many Many Many thanks for your blog on websites:  I followed your advice and viola, take a look (totally free and still professional): http://mulanmagicandfacepainting.googlepages.com  

Who would have thought that at the most hectic time of my life, it would be the one opportunity to get back to my love for painting.

“Mum Loses Her Models When They Become Face Painters!”
Sent in by Karen Witt

For the past year I have been getting right into face painting. I love it! But of course every eager face painter needs eager, patient (and forgiving) models to practice on in the early days.

Lucky for me, I am a MUM! My daughter Azura, who is 5 and her best friend Lauren jump at having their faces painted at every possible opportunity. They love to feel that they have thought up their own designs and elaborately explain the colours and images they want painted. It’s so cute.

I have recently given them a couple of old paint brushes and a few colour samples of face paint to have a go on themselves and each other. Bad move by me! Now that they have been liberated with artistic freedom, I’ve lost my two best models! :0

They want to paint each other’s faces instead of sitting for me. But it’s great to see that what I enjoy doing so much is also a fun activity for them. It will be part of their many happy memories of childhood.

Just wanted to share with you that last Saturday, I conducted a workshop for parent volunteers for our school. I shared with them some techniques that I have been using all these years and also the many, many, great advices I picked up from your ebooks. They had a blast and they were all so eager to learn!

I also shared with them your website, so hopefully they all visit your site!

I am sharing pictures with you from the workshop, We are doing C.S. Lewis’ The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe based on the musical created by Trumpets, Inc. a theatre group in Manila, for our Spring Play!
