June has lots of facepainting fun in Alabama!!

Our Story Expressions summer library program for 2010 started off yesterday at Anniston Public Library. Story Expressions combines the artistry of face and body art with the imagination of storytelling for an hour of entertainment for children and adults. We have a fun, original story written by Starshine Faces artist and owner Kristin Simpson (and her children) for the Make a Splash at your local library theme.

June 2nd the Big Sam the Balloon Man show "On the Road" will be at Meadowbrook Baptist Church in Rainbow City, Alabama. You can google Meadowbrook for directions. If you have not seen Big Sam and Kristin present their gospel show using facepainting and balloon sculptures, you can visit Meadowbrook, or contact us for information on bringing the show to your church.

First Friday is June 4 in Gadsden, Alabama. We will be inside Little Faces Doll Shop so don't worry about heat or rain. There will be two artists with fabulous facepainting, glitter tattoos, and henna from 5-9. All designs are from $5-$10 each. Don't want to wait in line?

Alabama Facepainter gets ready for Convention

Face and Body Art International Convention is this upcoming week in Orlando, Florida, and I am so excited to be attending this year. We are looking forward to learning more about our art so we can continue to provide you with the best we can for your parties and events.


Here is some information from their site www.fabaic.com

What is the FABAIC?
FABAIC is the annual Face and Body Art International Convention which takes
place in May in Orlando, Florida. Over 400+ painters from around the world gather together to experience the largest face and body painting convention in the US. Classes are offered in Face and Body Art, brush, sponge, airbrush as well as
henna, glitter tattoo and SFX. The first convention was May 2002 in Orlando, Fl.

Who are the instructors?
Our instructors are some of the best body artists in the industry. We have traveled the planet in search of some the most qualified and diversified artists of our industry. Each year we hope to invite new instructors to the FABAIC, along with the Masters of Face & Body Painting. Some previous Instructors may choose not to teach but are excited to be part of the convention and will be Jamming, Co-Instructing and showcasing thier Artwork.
