BODY ART

Besides the cultural exhibits at the cultural fair, there were also some companies that took part.  One of them was this beauty academy in Ipoh that offered courses in Body Art.  In the above picture, you see the completed art drawn on the hand of a young girl.

For the fair, the assistants from the academy painted the arms of visitors for free.  If they wanted more intricate designs, then they would be charged RM15.  The normal charge is RM35.

Here you see the assistant from the academy drawing the second petal of a flower on my left arm.

You can see the flower taking shape here.

While the girl was painting on my hand, I was admiring the beautiful rose that was painted on the arm of one of the promoters.

Now the leaves and vines are added.

Tada!  The finished product.  As acrylic paint was used, the flower only lasted me till around 9.00 p.m. that very day itself.
