Issue 2 - Christmas Issue
Welcome to Issue 2 of Brush Strokes Magazine. Christmas is fast approaching, and this month we have step-by-steps of Rudolph the Reindeer and a gorgeous Christmas butterfly for you to try out. And, for all those who couldn't attend the 2007 Face Painting Convention in Bristol, England last month, we have some great reports and pictures to update you on what you missed. There are also artist features on UK Face Painter of the Year, Catriona Finlayson and English make-up artist and body painter, Mark Gannon and news of the forthcoming Welsh Face & Body Painting Festival. We hope you enjoy reading the magazine and wish you all the best for a very Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year.
