Her work
Painted freehand, on the day
Every one of these was painted by hand, on a wriggling child, at a real party.

How it works
Three messages and it’s sorted
-
Tell her about the party
Date, place, roughly how many faces and how long you need her. A text is easiest.
-
She confirms and quotes
You get a price for the time you need before anything is locked in.
-
She turns up and sets up
Chair, paints, mirror and everything else. You need a shaded spot and a power point is a bonus.
Before you book
The things parents ask
-
What do you need from us on the day?
A flat, shaded spot with room for a chair and a small table. Out of the wind if you can — it keeps the paint clean and the kids comfortable.
-
How long does each face take?
It depends on the design. A cheek design is quick; a full face with detail takes longer. Tell her how many children are coming and she will tell you how long to book.
-
What about sensitive skin?
Tell her about any allergies or skin conditions when you book, and she will work around them or patch test on the day.
-
Can the kids choose their own designs?
Yes. She brings a board to pick from, and she will have a go at anything reasonable a child asks for.
-
How far do you travel?
Redcliffe, the Brisbane northside and surrounds. If you are further out, ask — it is usually still a yes.
-
Do you do adults too?
Constantly. Halloween, costume parties, club nights and photoshoots — there is a whole page for it.
Get her in the diary
Tell her about the party
Date, suburb, roughly how many children and how long you need her. A text is easiest — she is usually with a client.
