Ciara’s Funky Faces

14/05/2024

Hello followers 👋

I’ve decided not to continue with face painting as my weekends are too busy with my 3 kids and mama duties!

Thank you for the recent enquires, so sorry to disappoint anyone.

A big thank you to all my past customers, especially all the boys and girls who sat so patiently on my chair for face painting, over the past 2 years. I really enjoyed my fun hobby 😃

I’ll keep this page open for a short while, to get the message out that I’m now closed, then I’ll remove the page soon.

Thanks for reading,
Ciara 💕

This afternoon was so much fun 🤩🎉 thankyou to The Fostering Network Northern Ireland for having me face paint at their fun day at Glenpark Estate Omagh. They organised a fantastic event for the foster and kinship children & families of the Western Trust area 😊

I made a board of quick designs which worked very well. Lots of rainbow tigers 🐯, footballs ⚽️ 🔥, Frozen ❄️, & rainbows 🌈 with stars ✨

The most popular design chosen by the girls (and adults too 😄) which wasn’t even on my board 😆…was flowers and leaves on the arm🌸 🍃

I totally forgot to take photos of the floral arm designs at the event as I was flat out painting, but I couldn’t resist painting them on myself and my kids when I got home

Thank goodness for the fab weather today🌞
