Saturday I painted my first full body paint on the beautiful Monika! 7 long hours of painting, laughing and hyper-focusing, and I was told later that evening I placed second in the newby category ππ learned SO much! And had a blast!
I had no idea how hard it is mentally, physically and emotionally to be at a MASSIVE festival, with all the lights, noise, socialising, and positions needed to paint a entire body (yes I cried a lot after from burnout π
and was sofa bound the next day with sore muscles and a migraine). I only had to battle one lot of tics, towards the end luckily! But again I proved to myself that having Touretteβs will not stop me doing what I love!
So huge respect to all the amazing body painters out thereβ¦ itβs so hard! But I am so proud of what I did, getting to be part of such an amazing family is a true blessing!
