Here's some feedback from my fabulous clients! Then keep scrolling for more pictures, and then
information about the events I do.
 "Tina was fabulous at our Harvest Festival event. Kids raved over the designs they could choose from, and more than one parent commented on how fast Tina was able to get kids through the line. She was great!" -- Kirsten, Hiteon PTC Board "You were the hit of the party!" -- Suzie with JR Johnson & Dennis Harding Painting "The kids had a real blast and it created some good fun at the party as well as some wonderful photos. I will definitely recommend you to those I know." -- Christina "We received so many compliments for you. Everyone loved you!" -- Jennifer and Jeff "Your designs are just beautiful and clearly a big hit with kids!" -- Deb with Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation "You ROCK!" -- Molly, teacher 
Events! Birthday Parties: A regular birthday party is for up to 20 kids and lasts an hour plus wiggle room up to an hour-and-a-half (enough time to make sure everyone is painted.) I bring all my displays, as well as balloon animals for kids who don't want paint, or to provide an extra activity if there's time. I have my regular colorful tie-dye & sparkly hat costume, or princess, fairy, fortuneteller, witch, or pirate. Examples: For a party of 8 8-year old girls, each girl got a full face paint, an arm paint, and a balloon. They were all close friends and fascinated and stayed at the table watching each other for the full hour-and-fifteen minutes it took. For a party of 18 4 to 7-year old girls and boys, all but a couple of the younger boys got at least one paint. The older girls wanted two, and the two boys who didn't want face painting got balloons. Face painting was one of several activities the kids could participate in at the party. School Festivals, Corporate Events: Industry standard speed in face painting is 12-15 kids an hour. But what if you have a lot of kids and a short window? I have a special set of speedy designs. When I use my 40 fastest designs, I can paint 30 kids an hour. If you're wanting to offer face painting for free, consider that you will have a large number of takers. I have a lot of experience working large events, and trust me, speed makes all the difference. A short line is a happy line. Examples: Rivermark Credit Union (lovely people!) had a booth at the Hawthorne Street Fair and wanted to offer free face painting. It was sunny and there were loads of people out. I brought my special set of designs and in 4 hours painted well over 100 kids of potential customers -- as opposed to the industry standard of 50. I painted for the Harvest Festival at Hiteon Grade School in Beaverton. Again I brought my 40 fastest designs -- and this time I actually clocked myself at 36 kids an hour over a two-hour event! Of course, that's just because the kids were so well-behaved in line and knew what they wanted. :) Paintings I offer: 40 Full Face choices include: Butterflies, Superheroes, Tigers, Sparkly Fairy Princesses, Dragons, Mardi Gras Masks 40 Half Face choices include: Flowers, Penguins, Butterflies, Chompy Sharks, Elephants Blowing Water Across the Nose 40 Arm choices include: Skull & Crossbones with Fire, Roses, T-Rex, Daisies, Snakes, Swords, Dolphins The 40 Speedy Choices are actually chosen from my regular designs, so they are just as elaborate as the examples you see on the front page. I have simply selected the absolute fastest cheeks and arms. And more! I happily do special requests, especially if you have a picture. Individual special requests from pictures have included school mascots, animated characters, and people's pets. For corporate special requests, let me know what you need ahead of time and I'll bring it (for example, I created peach and berry designs for the Peach Festival at New Seasons.) Costumes I have: For festivals and other events, my regular costume is colorful tie-dyes & a sparkly hat. I can also come as a princess (very popular!), fairy, fortuneteller, witch, or pirate. Contact: Please contact me at tinaconnolly at gmail dot com for pricing, availability, or more pictures. Let me know the time, location, and size of your event. More feedback: "We really loved having you!" -- Deborah, Assistant Director, Seattle Knights/Pirates of Puget Sound "Thank you again for the great face-painting at my daughter's birthday party. It was a special treat for all of them and they loved their beautiful butterfly faces!" -- Kim "Thank you for providing the fabulous face painting at the Yankton Spring Fling. The children and parents thought you were amazing and had a great time." -- Stacey, Spring Fling organizer. Did you get painted at a festival, market or party?
