Hi all, I have been face painting for the past year and a half, but have just found balloons.  I seem to find balloons easier than painting, so am building up a repertoire and am up to 17 balloons at the moment.  The balloons I have done so far are a bit more than the one balloon animals.  I have learnt David Brennion's round DVD and a lot of Holly Hopper's balloons.  Having been in the face painting circuit, I know how annoying it can be when newbies come in and start offering stupid rates, undercutting existing painters.  I have tried to research prices for the Middlesex/Surrey area, but have not come up with much.  Can anyone give me some guidance on what I should be charging for a 2 hour children's party?  Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello everyone, I started twisting about a year ago, but it was put on hold over the summer and autumn months, as I have also been building up a face painting business.  I do enjoy twisting and I want to add it as another bow to my arrow for party entertainment.  I don't struggle too much with the actual twisting, my problem is remembering the designs.  I have just ordered Graham's DVD collection which I hope will teach me lots of designs.  Is it just a case of lots of repetition???

Thanks in advance for any responses.
