Squirting Flower

Big Plastic Glasses

White gloves

An awful cheap rainbow wig (yikes)

I spent the last six years working at a magic/clown/costume shop if that isn't enough to tell you I have a bunch of stuff laying around...

As my clowning character became more defined my look changed. I still have most of my old "stuff" but I keep it boxed up for a good reason.

I have a couple of books which I have hardly read. I actually think that most of the stuff I bought early on gets mostly used (or has already been set aside and forgotten about.) I do have a "bag 'o tricks" (literally in a brown paper bag) which often just sit around awaiting eventual use for whatever.

Well right now its two pair Vynal shoes
Fome molded hat ( the hat came with Hobo Bobs First Costume but made my head sweat so much i had water running down my face)
Two Fome noses & a small rubber one

They are all in a box of spaire clown stuff right now

Water based Halloween makeup.

Cheap, plastic, and Painful! clip on nose.

[Willace-the-Clown]

I wear a cheep plastic one as Scrubs but it dosen't clip on so i put it on the glases i wear as Scrubs & put it on right before heading to see the children

Luckily I found this forum and did a bit of research before hand , so I am not falling into the same traps as some. I am originaly a face painter so face painting supplies is a totally different story! I have a feeling most of it will go bad before I ever use it all.

We would really appreciate your sharing your information and knowledge concerning face painting. Many of us do some painting but I know I always welcome new (and usually better) ideas.
