Hi Everyone! Goodness, life as been one wild ride after another recently. Nick and Brian left night before last, having done a marathon of jobs before they got here, and were still sharp, funny, fresh as daisies and jawdroppingly amazing as ever. Calgary's facee painters will never be the same again! I am in the process of sifting through thousands pix...and will send some on when I am not dashing for the door to another gig.
Most of you will be unaware of www.puttinontheglitz.ca - (my other name!), which is NOW able to offer DIAMOND FX paints to its customers. Currently, we are awaiting a shipment of professional sizes (and YES...white will be available), however, I have a lovely stash of the brand new, appetizer packs - of either 12 or 6 colours. Each puck has 10g of paint (much bigger than the 'other' type on the market)(basic range, UV/Met range, N/B's choice range, and Flesh range) Now, my apologies, I have been running around chasing my tail, and until next week am booked solid, so haven't uploaded pix of the new products on to the website...(actually haven't been able to get to the website in weeks!!!) - so , Please, if you are interested in purchasing the new pallettes, or indeed, interested in adding it to your kits, please email me of list, and I will make sure we offer you the BEST customer service imaginable! Please note: These paints are for sale from Canada. Now I have to dash.... I am spending the day at the Masters Horse jumping chamipionships...lots of men in jodphurs ................its a tough life as a face painter! love you all Lizzie - Original Message ----- From: Roberta Mandella <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wednesday, August 27, 2008 10:19 am Subject: [fpba-assn] Wolfe Workshop in CT To: FPBA <[email protected]> > I just spent a few days at Z's house in CT for Nick & Brian's > workshop.
