Just an Idea

[Dirka Skene]

First of all, I have a couple questions:
1. What would one have to do to be a crafts vendor at a Highland Games event?

Ever heard of Woading? You've seen it. It's basically ancient celtic warpaint.




3. Know anyone who does it?

I have been doing henna for years and developed a pretty large number of clients in Memphis, TN. I hennaed professional belly dancers, Indian brides and grooms, and people who wanted to "try out" tattoos before getting them permanantly inked.


I recently started using temporary body paint. I use the same brand that was used on Vin Diesel in Triple X. It's water proof and lasts from 3 days to a week, depending on how you take care of it.


Well, they make they make the same stuff in blue. Do you see where I'm going with this? I wonder if it would go over at the games or other Renaissance/ Celtic type festival or event. Think it would be worth the time and effort? The supplies would cost too much for me to try something that wouldn't do well.

P.S. I do lots of Celtic knotwork, Pictish symbols and designs, large manly warrior designs, spirals, triskels, etc.

There was a booth doing that at the Seaside Games in Ventura CA just a few weeks ago.

First thing to do Princess, is find out who the orgonizers (I can not spell) are. Once you contact them ask who in in charge of the vendors. They will be glad to tell you for sure, after all they want your booth fee.

Which upcoming event are you thinking about?

Not sure if three day lasting blue face paint would do it for me. Have you done henna at celtic fests? That to me would be a much better alternative.

I'm nowhere near California.

The temporary body paint comes off very easily with rubbing alcohol. My henna lasts between two weeks and a month.

Which upcoming event are you thinking about?

None soon. Just had the thought that it may be something that I could try, eventually.

Just saying that I've seen it at a Games, which seems to answer one of the questions you posed.

Whoops. You caught me being blonde.
