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.

ABC 33/40 segment about Kid's Night on Broadway

Go here to see the segment we painted on Talk of Alabama. The subject line is wrong, though, just to let you know. Cecelia was there to promote the Kid's Night on Broadway...not Face painting itself.

Kid's Night on Broadway

Friday morning on Talk of Alabama I will join Cecelia Pearson of Alabama Baby and Child Magazine as she promotes Kid's Night on Broadway for March 11, 2009.

Starshine Faces will help make the Kid's Night on Broadway even more fun and colorful with fabulous face painting! Join us to get painted and enjoy Kid's Night on Broadway!

A Night in Oz

We were transported to the Wonderful Land of Oz thanks to the Junior Board of Birmingham Children's Theater. The fundraiser event included fun crafts and foods for the children and adults as well as characters from the Wizard of Oz mingling and interacting with the children and parents.

There were so many children in costumes ranging from Dorothy and her friends to a Batman I saw roaming around. We were busy all night and you can check out some of the photos on www.myspace.com/starshinefaces or by linking here.

Summer dates are filling up fast, so if you are still deciding, give us a call and see what we can do for you. 800-504-5977.

Last year we did some shows at the Vestavia Hills extended day program and this is what they had to say:

"Starshine Faces was spectacular! This young woman told the most fantastic stories and painted the children’s faces to tell the story. EVERYONE was mesmerized by her story and every child wanted to be next. The children, however, were willing to patiently wait their turn. (Even the adults were tempted to have their faces painted.)" from: http://www.vestavia.k12.al.us/docs/communitynewssept_oct08.pdf

Remember, we can do storytelling shows all year, not just summer time!!

Here is a link to some photos from last year's Catch the Reading Bug.
