Getting ready to make Temporary Freehand Tattoos at a Mardi Gras Party. My Supplies are all freshened up and ready to go

Just by adding a Professional Party Artist to the mix ~ you've not only given your Guests something Unique, but you've also given them a 'Conversation Starter' aaaannnnd a boost that will encourage them to 'Remember Your Celebration even After they leave the Party. Sometimes even Years After your Party. Each Party is Unique ~ The type of Experience you offer Your Guests depends on which Images you offer. Just like you can choose a Pizza Party Or an Elegant Dinner Party, you can also choose Fun CARICATURES Or Insightful CALLIGRAPHY/GRAFFITI WORDS/NAMES, etc. It's more internalized by the Guests when the Party Image becomes part of their own image. They can feel like an integral part of the Party that You Designed.

CARICATURES

DIGITAL CARICATURES

FACE PAINTING

TEMPORARY FREEHAND TATTOOS (including Freehand Glitter Tattoos)

BALLOONS

CALLIGRAPHY/GRAFFITI WORDS/NAMES

FASHION SKETCHES

CARICATURES and DIGITAL CARICATURES and FASHION SKETCHES and CALLIGRAPHY/GRAFFITI WORDS/NAMES all go home with Your Guests as Party Favors. They are frequently hung on the Wall in your Friends' Homes. Your Guests will probably remember ~ for as long as the picture is part of their Every-Day awareness ~ what they were Celebrating when they got it. And when you hire your Party Art, you can even order a logo to be included for a small extra charge. That's something like:

had fun at
(Name)'s Party

(Name)'s Birthday Party
Date

fine art from
(Name)'s Party

The BALLOONS ~ so much a part of a Party ~ well, they don't last as long. But when they're created On the Spot ~ During the Party ~ it's so much more interactive than just putting up a few BALLOONS. When the BALLOONS are created right At the Party, the Guests will feel like they're more than just decorations. Your Guests will feel like they are holding Party in their hands. And afterwards ~ we are intrigued to ask people where they've been if we see them walking home with the Party Balloons. Which, well, they only last as long as they will last. Here are some Samples of Alison's BALLOONS:

FACE PAINTING ~ Oh so Special when it's done right. You Guests can feel oh so Special when they're 'transformed' with the Power of their own images. Which can last all day (or until they decide to wash them off ~ Alison's FACE PAINTING washes off easily with soap and water). Here are some Samples of Alison's FACE PAINTINGS:

TEMPORARY FREEHAND TATTOOS (including Freehand Digital Tattoos) ~ Oh ~ you can't imagine how Glamorous and Special you can feel with one of these magnificent decorations until you've had a Real one done. They rest on the Surface of the skin, and can last about a week ~ lingering joy from Your Event every time your Guests notice their very own TEMPORARY FREEHAND TATTOOS. An experience they're not likely to have any other time. Alison's TEMPORARY FREEHAND TATTOOS look great while they're At the Party. And Your Guests can be blown away by the Wow when they see them the next day Out in the Sun! Your Party is the Special One. Here are some Samples of Alison's TEMPORARY FREEHAND TATTOOS:

That's Seven Different Choices you have to design Your Party. Let Your Choice Define Your Party. Let Your Choice of which Type of Party Art add the Character that you're hoping of for Your Party.

Here's an Upcycle that I previously made. I had been hired to make Glitter Tattoos and Black Tattoos at a Mardgras Event at a College. Hmmm.... What to wear? I didn't want to ruin my good clothes in case I got glue and stuff on my clothes, but I couldn't wear my in-the-house-only clothes.

So I took a shirt that wasn't my favorite. At that time. Because it was too big, maybe even a mystery stain on it. And I quickly decorated it. Had to be Quick yes. Because it was a last-minute event, and I only had a day or so to prepare.

I used Fabric Glue for the rhinestones. I used a black Sharpie marker. I used some white paint (fabric paint? or just plain acrylic paint? I don't remember what I had here.) And I quickly just Did Something.

Turned out that I liked it so much that now I save it to wear only for Special. One of my favorites. Stayed decorated even though I've washed it many times already. Inside out. In a mesh laundry bag. We can do this. When we don't have the time to find and buy what we want ~ Or when we can't find what to buy anyway ~ we usually don't have to look any further than 'our own backyard', as is said in The Wizard of Oz. It just Happens. G-d makes our lives easier than we think it is.

1. Choose something to Celebrate. You can probably notice several things that you should Celebrate each day.
2. Choose a date/time that works with your schedule.
3. Prepare a Guest List so you'll know size for venue.
4. Choose a venue so you'll know where the Party will be.

5. Choose appropriate Food and Entertainment that will support this particular Celebration. That's where ALISON'S CARICATURE EXPRESS comes into action. I can bring:
   CARICATURES
   Or DIGITAL CARICATURES
   Or FACE PAINTING
   Or FREEHAND TEMPORARY TATTOOS (including Both FREEHAND GLITTER TATTOOS And FLAT BLACK TATTOOS)
   Or FASHION SKETCHES
   Or GRAFFITI NAMES/WORDS
   Which One works best for This Occasion?

6. If you're paying people to do some of the work for you ~ Cooking, Entertainment, Cleaning, etc ~ you won't have to do it yourself. Professionals should be lifting the burden from you, so you can now focus on contacting your friends and relatives to get them excited about This Particular Special Occasion. Send our Invitations.
7. Plan your Seating Arrangement after you know who will be attending the Event.

8. Prepare yourself ~ Your clothes, your rest ~ so you can be the Gracious Hostess ~ Welcoming your Guests and making sure they can partake of the Joyful Experiences you've planned for them.
