Second Job Face Painting – SF Comp

This is an entry sent in for our monthly Competition!

“Second Job Face Painting” By Sheila Aldrich

About two years ago my mother and I were asked to volenteer our time face painting for a Chilren’s Miracle Network fundraiser in our community, which is a very small community.  We were asked because the both of us have some artistic ability and we are alway willing to try new things, so we said yes.

The only thing that we had to use was acrylics, but we were told that they work.  During the time that we were doing this fund raiser a friend of ours came up to see what we were doing and little did we know she used to face paint in Denver, professionally.

That day we got a lot of tips and of course done a lot better than we were doing.  After that, my mother and I decided that we were going to face paint at our local fair because there is not a whole lot for kids to do at the fair.

There is not as many activities as there were when I was a kid.  We went over to our friend’s house a couple weeks before fair and got some face painting lessons and we practiced a lot.  We had a excellent turn out fair and got plenty of compliments.

I have decided that I would like to get some real face paint and take more lessons and do this as a a “second job” for our community.  Like birthday parties, fair, fund-raisers, and other events that take place.
