Hello from NE Iowa

[apriladventure]

I am so excited to be a part of this forum. I'm fairly new to facepainting but love every minute of it. I have had several gigs but don't consider it work, in fact I have a hard time charging for it. Unfortunately, I have to pay for the hundreds of dollars I have invested. I don't think of myself as an artist because I don't like to draw or paint, unless it is on people.
I started clowning around 12 years ago. I attended Twist and Shout this summer for ballooners. Let's keep this a secret, the deciding factor was that Snazaroo was going to be at the show. 
I haven't posted my photos on any site other than my Facebook page only because I am extremely intimidated by the talent I've seen online. I can't wait to participate and learn more.

FYI -I'm a huge fan Vi. I love your YouTube videos. I always look to you for inspiration. Looks like I found the right place for even more.
