How the Fete Came
About
This festival
started out with an open invite to anyone on the FABP (Face and Body
Painting list) to come down and visit Renee Domingue and myself (Susie Pierce)
and we'd cook them a pot of gumbo. Before we knew it we had about
15 people wanting to come - now we have about 40 painters who want
to come and party and paint with us! As the list of people grew...
we came to nickname it "The Fete that ate Lafayette"! (Hey... it rhymes
too :)
We have many
trained and experienced painters who will be here to share their
knowledge.
New
Orleans Side Trip on Saturday
We will be
taking a charter bus or special passenger vans on the Saturday which
will take us on a plantation tour, then on to "The Big Easy" (New
Orleans) for a mini French Quarter tour and the St. Patrick's Day Parade.
Depending on how many people sign up for the New Orleans side trip it
should cost about 15.00 to 20.00 a person. Big or small, we're gonna
have a Ball!!!
Those who want
to sign on for the Saturday New Orleans excursion email me at
thepartyartist@myway.com
Vendors
*** We
should have a hospitality suite for vendors to display and sell
their products. Vendors should contact Susan Pierce at

Mark Reid
MARK REID SPECIAL CLASS
***Sign up for Mark's
class soon before it fills up!***
Mark Reid will be at the 'Fete that ate Lafayette' for a very SPECIAL,
"Mardi Gras Mania" class! IEverything to do with making
absolutely fantastic, fabulous Mardi Gras and similar masks. He'll
be using gems, shimmer powders, glitter you name it and we'll have a
blast of a class!
!'ve taken his class and if there is one class in my
opinion that would do you the most good it would be a class with Mark.
He has a gift for helping you to really 'get' the techniques that help
take your painting to a new level.
I need to know how many
of you would be interested in taking a half day class on the Thursday,
March 15th with Mark. The class would be 50.00 per person.
Email me at
thepartyartist@myway.com
to reserve your place in class if you are certain you will
be taking the class.
Mark will also be
bringing along lots of Mehron / Paradise & Kryolan products to sell as well.
So stock up!

coming to The Fete to teach a class as well. She's asked Cindy
Trusty to assist her in a henna class - and she will also demonstrate
body painting as well. We are so
fortunate to have her! And I can't wait to learn some body
painting too.
