My fave painting from a festival last weekend

Finally a chance to post about the festival were me and Rebecca face painted at the Silverado Days.

HERE COMES TREBLE
This one gal was in line to be face painted and when I saw her beautiful bald head (she has alopecia) I asked if she wouldn't mind if we could paint her head - she said go for it! When we were done, she said she wanted us to paint her head EVERY day! She was a really cool chick, and also her friends who were hanging out patiently waiting for us to finish painting her were way cool too! They taught us how to "hand hug". Now I feel hip.

Rebecca did the back of her head, and her signature peacock feather on one side. I did the top, side and treble symbol, since she loves to sing. As we were painting her, she sang a Beatles song in a very eclectic version. She has a lovely voice and spirit to match. Thanks Sonora!

Puttin' On The Glitz

Saturday night I did face painting at San Clemente's annual "Puttin' On The Glitz". This is a holiday event sponsored by the SC Downtown Business Association. When I contacted the event organizer about a month ago, she did not have any face painters and was going to put an ad in the paper. I told her not to worry that I would gather up some fellow FP's and sure enough, I was able to have some great gals come down and help me out. We had a great time, the line was steady and busy. I think I can paint snowflakes in my sleep now.

The only bummer was when we were packing up for the night, the sprinkler system went off! Thankfully we had moved most of our stuff onto the sidewalk.

A gentleman from Downtown San Clemente took these photos of me and the girls:

Monica and Lara face painting!
