Down The Rabbit Hole

“"If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?” “She generally gave herself very good advice, (though she very seldom followed it)”

Face Painting

Well, I got roped into being a face painter of little kids...

I work for a non-profit agency that assists persons with disabilites to live independent lives.

A very fun, difficult, and rewarding jobs.

Well, every year we have a fundraiser called RAMPART where person's with disabilities can showcase their artwork in a college gallery, and can win awards and sell their works.

Here is my usual schpiel:

Annual event sponsored by Services for Independent Living that showcases the artistic achievement of people with disabilites. The evening event will be held at Columbia College in the Sid Larson Gallery Thursday June 9 from 6pm till 9pm. There will be over a hundred art pieces provided by artists with disabilities from all over the state of Missouri that can be viewed and possibly purchased, as well as a live jazz band (the Allen Beeson Band), wonderful food, door prizes, and a raffle for a 42 inch plasma screen television. All artwork will be kept up in the gallery for viewing until June 23. If you have questions concerning the event, purchasing tickets, interested in volunteering or donating, or in submitting artwork before the May 18 deadline please contact the following persons:

All proceeds go to building ramps for people at their homes when they are unable to afford them.

So, I have to sell tickets at a festival in June and I got stuck being the children's face painter. Does anyone have any ideas on what little images are quick, easy, an children enjoy? Adults even?

My boss already took all the fun out of it and said I can't use any lead based paints.
