Glastonbury Body Art Festival

Glastonbury Body Art Festival-

The Glastonbury Body Art Festival – Took place on the weekend of January 13th; We took The Living Art Show to this fabulous body painting event to join in the fun, meet with friends old and new, soak up the fabulous vibe of the event and its beautiful people and to create some amazing works of art alongside our fabulous team of artistes.

The Glastonbury Body Art Festival was organised by one of our long time associates in the world of body painting Mel Broom and Steven Durros, it was a fabulous event many of the artistes and models were keen to get information about the Summer event that we holding and many have already booked in to attend.

We painted the Magical Golden Warrior we painted at the Glastonbury Body Art Festival  twas themed as it ties in with our 2018 theme of \”MAGIC\” for this years Living Art Show.

Our 2017 Living Art Show winning artiste was also on site the lovely June Waller and she painted the beautiful \”Magical Fairy Princess\” that you see shown between the other two images. The Glastonbury Body Art Event was a great start for many body painters to kick off a brilliant new year and to get our paint brushes charged up and ready to go for the rest of the year!

One of our highlights of the festival was the opportunity to meet with our lovely model Bonnie Stafford

This was her first time being body painted, she was fabulous, great pleasure to work with and she kindly send me this lovely poem of the day afterwards – which she is happy for me to share here:

Ordinary people came,

they wanted to part of the magic of the day ,

The model, the artist, meeting up, the artist sizes the human canvas up,

The spark of an idea and a form begins to appear ,bronze and gold a story of old, the warrior goddess begins to unfold,

The curve of the body

The angles of bone

Waiting for paint to transform and flow

Sparkles are everywhere twinkling in the light,

Catching eyes with their brights,

All to soon the time is up ,

This tribal warrior goddess is ready to share, the magic of creation the artist put there .
