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.

Facepainting at First Friday in Gadsden, Alabama

Art Walk is the theme for First Friday in Gadsden, Alabama the evening of May 1st. We were accepted into the Art Walk and will be doing fabulous transformations on lucky ticket holders. These are not our typical birthday or festival faces. These take face painting to the next level for us and include hair designs and abstract art designs. All paintings this evening will be artist choice, so get ready to see our imagination at work.

Tickets were given out at various birthday parties that hired us, but you can register for a chance to get painted that night. Stop by the booth and fill out the registration forms for your free transformation ticket. We will draw twice during the evening and you must be present to win.

We look forward to seeing you there!!

Chocolate Festival 09 recap

Wow, was Chocolate Festival 09 fun or what? We had fabulous weather and a great crowd this year. We were busy the entire time we were out there. I had to leave to paint at a storytelling program for a church in the middle of the day, but Shanda and Greg kept the lines moving as fast as they could with face painting and hair colors. Thank you to everyone who was able to come out and see us.

Remember us if you are interested in adding face painting to your festival or event. Our face painting is entertaining for everyone who watches and festival attendees are always grateful for free entertainment, so think about hiring us for your next event.

We can provide references from other festivals who have hired us and Starshine Faces carries full liability insurance.
