Latest Creations...Do you guys think I'm good enough to start?

Hey guys,

I've been showing friends and fam the designs that I've done lately and they are saying I'm good enough to at the very least start and then I can work my way up with getting the finer fp products and supplies that I want. There's not really a face painter in my area that paintings to this level. What do you guys think?

Everything passes the "What is it" test w/ flying colors. Just start! Most my 1st creations were quite aweful & everyone loved them. As long as you are always seeking to improve you'll be fine.

Mika, I think your boy designs are spot on... you will only improve them as you go. The butterfly, flowers and rainbows look good... maybe just more practice for the forehead "crown design"... But YES, I think you are ready to start.. improvement comes quite quickly with practice! Go for it, girl! And best of luck!

Thank you guys so much!
Miss Ronnie I definitely agree with the crown design. It was just a spur of the moment random thought. But I definitely will continue to practice. I trust that after a while a lot of these designs will be second nature to me.

Thanx so much for the support.

The only thing that's holding me back is coming up with a business name so keep an eye out for my next thread in this forum.

A person can practice at home forever but the real fun begins when they paint at actual events and for actual paying customers. Go for it!

How about "Magikal Mika"... or something similar?

I was thinking on "Fun & Fabulous Facepainting"

Fun & Fabulous Face Painting
by
Magikal Mika

maybe Fun & Fabulous Facepainting by Mika

I like that. Mika is short for my full name.

The designs are great, and the more practice you get the better you'll get!

I say get out there. If you don't do it now, you never will.

Thank you so much for that. And that's the feeling that I'm getting so I decided I was applying for a business license today. Just trying to decide on a name. See my thread in the business section.

Just jump in, you will be so surprised in another couple of months, all of these will have evolved into something much diffferent and better!

I was thinking Mika's Magical Mugs but I can see that you want to get "face painting" in your business name.

I have an alligator like that tha I painted early. It is still on my promotional materials. You have no idea how many parents still say...oh, get the dianosoar! duh. I have one of those...but they point to the allegator, which is not on my board anymore! hahahahah. Good work. Enjoy.

I like "Mika's Magikal Face Painting".... but you should go with what you like best. Good luck! You are on your way and I'm excited for you!

Agree with Miss Ronnie. Go for it girl! Make some smiles AND some money!

You are ready for prime time, good luck!

I also say go for it and I love the colour and detail in your dinosaur xx

I thank you guys sooo much for your words of encouragement and support. I have decided on going with Mika's Creationz. I know some don't like the z but it's something that's done in our area a lot so it won't be that hard to remember that Creationz is spelled with a "z".

I am also a very artsy crafty person so if I decide to incorporate some of my crafts such as (super girly fashion hair bows) in a princess package for a girl's party then the name would allow that.

The whole business aspect of this art is a bit overwhelming to me so i signed up for a seminar where I will learn what all is involved in starting a business in the U.S. Virgin Islands. I have lots of questions and can't wait to ask them all at the seminar.

Yes you are ready. Great paintings
