Hotel Employee Appreciation Day

A last minute booking found me heading off to a small family fun day at a local hotel. They had a small bounce house, catered food and face painting. I was asked to paint whatever the guests wanted. Requests started coming in for cats, sharks, snakes, dinosaurs, dragons, butterflies, tigers and even a gorilla! Some wanted small cheek art others wanted a full face design. Every face was a different design. Children and adults got into line to be painted into their fantasy creation. After the children got out of the chair they would take off running around showing everyone their face paint design. Then they would enter into a their own little imaginary would pretending they were what was painted on their face. They played together making new friends for hours. It was such a joy to watch them playing together. No matter if you would like only face painting designs to match the theme of your party or let your guests pick whatever design they want we can provide it. Depending on their request and your requirements we will paint either cheek art, half mask or full face designs. We even try to make each design different. Of course if asked for the same design as the last one we will do that too. We only use professional face paint that can be washed off at the end of the day.

Tie Dye at Macy's

I was in shock the day I answered the phone last year when the lady on the other end identified herself from Macy's! She wanted to hire me to tie dye African dresses at an up coming event IN Macy's store in the Short Pump Mall, Virginia. Tie dye t-shirts are always in demand. Everyone loves them and wants one. We normally teach your guests how to make their own at your party. We use a system that allows guests to tie dye without fear of making a mess. None the less I was very nervous as I was setting up the day of the event next to a rack of white dresses with price tags of $200! I mean the rack was at the edge of my table! Each guest picks the colors they want to use so not only are the colors different but so are the twists. Three colors were provided to make a beautiful rainbow effect or they could pick only one or two colors. The guests had the option to twist the dress themselves or I would do it for them. Most decided to have me twist them after showing me where to put the center of the swirl. There are several different designs to be made using tie dye. The most popular is the swirl. A few others are a 'V' design, a 'spider' and a peace sign. Everyone enjoyed participating in making their own dresses to take home!
